01
Roll a World Cup squad
Each turn draws one nation and one tournament year. That squad is your market. You do not search the archive. You react to what the dice give you.
Seven Nil is a free sete a zero draft — the football game people also search as 7a0 or 7ao, and as 7 Nil. You roll one real national team and one World Cup year, then pick one player who fits an open role. According to FIFA, the men's World Cup has been played since 1930, and the 2022 edition had 32 teams and 64 matches.

How does a turn work?
A turn is one roll and one pick. The dice give you a single squad. You take the one footballer who fits an empty role, then that squad is gone. Eleven turns fill the XI.
02
Take one footballer
Only names that fit an open role can join the XI. A famous ten is useless if you still need a left-back. One pick, then the squad is gone.
03
Simulate the campaign
When eleven slots are filled, the run is judged: group games, knockouts, and whether the spine holds. Balance beats a highlight reel.
What do the ratings mean?
A rating is that year only, on a scale from the low 70s to the mid-90s. Classic shows the number. Almanac hides it. A name above 90 is gold. You have five redraws, and names lock when the draft starts.
Rules
One draw, one squad, one player. The formation owns the board. Classic mode shows ratings; Almanac hides them. Five chances cover a bad draw. Another team and another cup each spend one. Another cup keeps the side and changes the year. Names are set before the draft starts.
Build the spine first
Keepers, centre-backs, full-backs, and central midfield win campaigns. Attackers are cheap in the draw. Rare defenders are not. Take the scarce role, then let nostalgia in.
Common questions
Is this sete a zero, 7a0, or 7ao?
Yes. Seven Nil is the free sete a zero draft. 7a0 is the same name with a zero, and 7ao is the same search typed with the letter o. It is an independent World Cup XI game, not an official FIFA product, and it is not the same company as other sites that use a 7a0 name.
What is Seven Nil?
A free World Cup draft. Each turn draws one national team and one tournament year. You pick a player who fits an open role, complete an XI, then simulate the campaign.
Classic or Almanac?
Classic shows ratings so every pick has clear information. Almanac hides the numbers and turns the draft into a memory test.
Why is it harder than it looks?
Famous names tempt you. The formation decides what you actually need. A weak keeper or an empty midfield can sink a glamorous attack.
What is a dream finish?
Champions, unbeaten, nothing conceded. That is the seven-nil — the run the game is named for.
The numbers the draft uses
TL;DR: Seven Nil rates the season on the card, then simulates from that XI.
- 83 national tournament squads, from 1958 through 2026.
- 105 club seasons from the top five leagues, starting in 1980.
- 2,275 player ratings. A score above 90 is written in gold.
- Five redraws. Another cup and another team each spend one.
- 11 players. One open role, one pick.
According to FIFA, the men's FIFA World Cup article began in 1930 in Uruguay with 13 teams. The 2022 tournament used 32 teams and 64 matches. The 2026 tournament, shared by Canada, Mexico, and the United States, expanded to 48 teams and 104 matches. Those figures are the real cups. Seven Nil borrows the bracket shape, not the licence.
A rating here is not a career badge. Pelé in 1970 and a quiet year for a famous name are different numbers. The match model then uses the XI: overall, attack, midfield, defence, and how well the shirts fit together. A stronger side wins more often. It does not win every time.
Take the scarce role first. Attackers are common in the draw. A real left-back is not.
Only a match between two people is played minute by minute. The next round stays closed until that match is finished.
What the board is built from
Seven Nil keeps 83 national tournament squads and 105 club seasons. That is 2,275 player ratings. A rating is that year only. Above 90, the name is gold. A quiet tournament does not keep a career score. The written notes are on Guides, ratings, World Cups, and club seasons.
Champions, unbeaten, and nothing conceded. That is the seven-nil.
| Mode | What you draft |
|---|---|
| World Cup | One nation, one tournament year |
| Clubs | One top-five club, one season from 1980 |
| Friends | A final, or a cup seeded by ranking |
- Five redraws. Another cup and another team each spend one.
- World Cup rooms and club rooms never share a player.
- Only a match between two people is played minute by minute.
The real competitions this game borrows its shape from are the FIFA World Cup (played since 1930) and the UEFA Champions League. Seven Nil is not those competitions and is not licensed by them. Squad notes also follow public tournament reports such as the 1970 World Cup and the 2022 World Cup.
