Here’s a breakdown of your sentences and which ones work for your situation:
1. I'm tied up to Aaaa team.
❌ Incorrect
* "Tied up to" is not idiomatic English.
2. I'm tied up with Aaaa team.
✅ Potentially Correct, but awkward in context
* "Tied up with" usually means you're busy or committed to something, but it doesn't convey the idea of being a fan out of obligation.
3. I'm stuck to Aaaa team.
❌ Incorrect
* "Stuck to" isn't natural for this context. It sounds more like you're physically attached to the team.
4. I'm stuck with Aaaa team.
✅ Correct
* This works well! It conveys that you feel obligated to support Aaaa team, even though you'd rather be a fan of Bbbb team.
