If I remember well, you can only recruit Asia teams, such as Big Waves, Desert Lion and Fire Dragon's players when you were in the middle of the main story.

And also, you'll need to win againts these 3 teams in Hirai Shinzou's Competition Route (which can be found here: http://inazumaelevenguide.altervista.org/3/Extra/LocHirai.jpg ) in order to make them available.
