What is 8-0?

8-0 is a free World Cup draft game and squad builder where you draft an XI from random national squads spanning decades of tournament history.

Spin the wheel to land on a real World Cup squad and year, draft players from that squad one position at a time, and mix modern stars with tournament legends to create your ultimate XI.

Once your team is complete, simulate the full World Cup path from group stage to final and see how far your squad can go. Can you win the World Cup? Can you go unbeaten? Can you complete the perfect 8-0 run?

Player ratings are based on each national team's historical World Cup performance, while current players are rated from team strength implied by 2026 World Cup betting odds. If a player appears in multiple World Cup squads, 8-0 uses their highest-rated version when you draft them.

How to play

  1. 1. Spin the wheel - land on a real World Cup squad from a specific year.
  2. 2. Draft a player - pick one player from that squad and slot them into your formation.
  3. 3. Build your XI - repeat until all 11 positions are filled.
  4. 4. Simulate the tournament - play out the full World Cup path and chase 8 wins.
