it should be the other team's most honorable player being referred to as that, but why is this dialogue also used for my team? https://ibb.co/mdkiza

Their refers to the player mentioned

It's a general statement informing everyone of the fact. A neutral term. Seems appropriate to me.

Because the message is displayed in chat for both teams to see. Using a neutral statement makes sense

"Their" can be used as a neutral form to represent and function as both "his/her".

Also, it prints identically for both teams, it doesn't say "our team" when the mentioned player is on your team, as "their" works just as fine it's just from a 3rd person perspective.

Think of that announcement as something said by a referee.
