I'd like to explain a story where two students who are not on the same sport team became good friends.
Can I say
"a friendship between students who are from different sport teams"
or
"a friendship between students who are on different sport teams"
?
this phrase is said when a hero of a story shortly explains his friend the content of a play where he will take part in.
He says "Its story is about a friendship between student athletes on/from different teams."
In my story the content of the play doesn't matter.

Good question. "A friendship between students on different teams" and "a friendship between students from different teams" are both valid.
Similarly, in politics, you can say "people on/from both sides agree that..." or "people in/from both parties agree that...".
