To be fair: How many cooperative sports do you know? With that, I mean sports in which you do not compete against other players (directly or indirectly) but rather the environment, with a "win" condition that's completely independent.

I'm hard pressed to name a single one. Survival trips and maybe mountain climbing? The sports I know are all about players competing with each other (either alone or as team), rather than achieving a set, independent goal (together).

That said, how about requiring each dungeon/trial/raid to have two groups and only the first one to beat it gets loot? You can then rank people with their average clear times, DPS etc publicly and turn the game into a more typical sport. Not sure how much that'd be appreciated, though...
