Самая играющая сборная

From a Kommersant article, talking about the large number of Ukrainian athletes at a sports facility in the Olympic Village. The author is somewhat "playfully-derisive" of the Ukrainian athletes in the article. Looking for something better than just "the most active team" - something that conveys the overall tone of the article.
Here is a bit more context:
Центр наводнен видеоиграми, бильярдными и теннисными столами, настольными футболом и хоккеем и какими-то странными устройствами, похожими на видеотренажеры.
Это чего такое? - интересуюсь у товарища в форме украинской сборной, который активно использует диковинную игрушку.
Мог бы, конечно, просто сказать, что не хочет разговаривать с человеком в форме сборной России, да и все.
Тут, кстати, по какому-то странному стечению обстоятельств в глазах рябит от ребят в жовто-блакитном.
Самая играющая сборная, оказывается.
I know the last question in this vein caused a bit of a political stir - this is not my intent - but I need to get tone right and would love the help of my colleagues on this. TIA

A team that never stops playing
It's a shame they aren't Georgian. Then they would be The Dream Team :-)

I like this - what do you think about this slight modification? A team that never stops playing around, it turns out. |

May be, 'the most active' would be the best (choice or 'translation option'.

: Nice string of suggestion options for играющая, but kind of short. Why don't you admit that you don't have the slightest insight into what the source really is trying to say?

True fans of the game, they are.
If you want to convey the double meaning of играть (to play a sport vs. to play (video) games), then you need to have either "play" or "game" in this phrase.

The most active squad
I suppose that we can say "squad", since it is often used in reference to sports competitions. I prefer it to "team" anyway.
