I've found it by randomly adding new teams until the set was maximal, starting from no teams repeatedly until it got larger than 35.

J source (modified from the above post; to see how slow it works, it prints the number of teams in a set it's found after each try):

players =: a.{~65+i.24 teams =: (#~]-:"1~."1)~./:~/:~"1>,{4$<players good =: teams#~[:(*./"1) 1>: teams&(+/@:e."1"1 _) fmt =: ,/@:(,&' '"1)"2 rand =: 3 :'((,(?@:#{])@:good) ::])^:_ i.0 4' fmt 3 :('while. 1!:2&2#(t =: rand 0)'; '35>:#t'; 'do. end.'; 't') 0

Update: I got lucky. Here's a set of 38 teams (generated using the same code except by raising the constant 35).
