Would the meaning of this sentence change if I say "has never seen" instead of "has ever seen"?

You would not be able to use "has never seen" in this sentence. The sentence will no longer make sense grammatically. You could switch "ever" with "never" but you would have to restructure the entire sentence and doing so could change the meaning of the sentence. The sentence could be "The world has never seen a team as great as ours." The meaning has changed slightly but it is similar to the original sentence.
