to work its butt off
or "to bust its butt"
As in : "They worked their butts off at that job" or "I busted my butt to get it done on time"

I should have phrased it as "to work one's butt off", or "to bust one's butt". I was using "it" in reference to the example of the team.

sweat blood
I don't know if it's particularly regionally marked, but it's part of my idiolect.
Not just in a sports context, but anywhere you can be said to "break your balls" to achieve something, if I may be so "indelicate".
Sweat blood can also be "to be frightened" - of an (unseen) (psychological) threat.

work(ed) their bollocks off
Vulgar I know, but very common terminology UK for football teams.
Quite a few examples Google (UK)
"As for the rest of the team , without exception they worked their bollocks off to a man ."
Worked their arses off...is also used!

It\'s just that at the moment, when we\'re going through a bad patch, we need players who are prepared to work their bollocks off, get stuck in and give the fans something to cheer about. In other words, we don\'t need Micky Mellon.

sudar la camiseta = to really put their heart into it
some of the others have been probably OK but I feel that vulgarity is not what you are asking for. Hope it helps.
