Answer 1

This table should have foreign key of your teams and you would simply select teams name in teams table.

Anyway, if you want to do it that way, try this:

SELECT DISTINCT opponent AS team FROM table
UNION
SELECT DISTINCT competition AS team FROM table

Answer 2

SELECT DISTINCT t.opponent team FROM (
    SELECT opponent team
    FROM tbl
    UNIOUN ALL
    SELECT competition team
    FROM tbl
) t
