The FIFA World Cup 2026 is now just days away, and there is no other merch that can match this new line of football-inspired LEGO collectible sets to jump into the excitement. Not everyone can play, be present at the stadiums, or catch live action. For us, toiling with LEGO bricks to build the golden trophy or some legends in their country colors is equally satisfying and the next best thing to the real action.
If you’re aligned, take a look at the new sets launched by LEGO in partnership with FIFA. These are created for football fans of all ages to go beyond watching the game and build their own football collectibles one brick at a time.
The collection comprises a FIFA World Cup Official Trophy, the Official Emblem, and four figures of footballing legends, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, and Vini Jr. There are also a few other elements of the game, like a football, that fans can relate to and build along.
LEGO x FIFA World Cup Official Trophy
My country is not even a participant in the extended World Cup spanning across three nations: the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Whether your country’s participating or not, or whether Germany wins or France takes home the cup. Fret not, you have the chance to build the official trophy, which is 1:1 scale and show it off on your fireplace mantle for the next four years. And then you’d realize, it’s not even the rotational trophy, and you can have it forever. Peach!
This incredibly detailed, to-scale replica of the official tournament trophy comprises 2,842 pieces. It features the authentic details of the actual trophy and comes with a concealed upper compartment, which opens to reveal a minifig (popping out like the cuckoo from the clock) holding a mini trophy in the hand. If you’re a LEGO fan or your father loves football, this would make a perfect gift for yourself or him this Father’s Day on June 21.
Additionally, you can enhance the excitement of the forthcoming tournament by physically building your favorite stars. These sets come packed with Easter eggs that nod to the player’s life and career.
Cristiano Ronaldo – Football Legend Set
The 854-piece build shows CR7 performing his famous “Siuuu” goal celebration. It also comes in a second option featuring the football legend performing his iconic bicycle kick.
Lionel Messi – Celebration Set
This is a more detailed build. It is a large 1,427-piece set that displays Messi in his fingers-to-the-sky victory pose. The display is highlighted with his iconic “Number 10” striped Argentine jersey.
Kylian Mbappé – Football Highlights Set
The 490-piece set has a base in the shape of the French legend’s initial. It features a collectible plaque displaying his stats and an Mbappé minifig in a scoring pose.
Vini Jr. – Football Highlights Set
This collectible set comprises 510 pieces. It celebrates Brazilian star Vinicius Junior in the colors of his national team with the ViNi JR 7 (his jersey number) in the backdrop.
LEGO x FIFA World Cup Official Emblem
It’s the first time that the official emblem comprises an image of the trophy and the year of the tournament. The LEGO adaptation is a replica of it, with the base formed using colorful 26 digits and a semi-3D version of the FIFA World Cup trophy on it. A FIFA tile resides just below the trophy. The 298-piece recognizable soccer emblem set comes with a stand and a picture hanger. So, after building it, you can choose to display it on a desk or hang it on a wall.
LEGO Football
This LEGO build is the ultimate gift for a football lover in your life. If you’re not in favor of getting your father a FIFA World Cup trophy to lift. You should definitely consider this 1,498-piece brick-built football for him this Father’s Day. The 1:1 LEGO football collectible set is based on an official game ball (size 5). Sadly, it isn’t designed after the adidas Trionda Pro, but it does have some incredible details to show what meets the eye.
Inside the round shape featuring six deco disks, the LEGO ball set has a mini stadium celebration scene hiding inside. The set uses LEGO Technic to achieve a rounded shape, and allows the builder(s) to watch “football player figures celebrate a win, with fireworks popping off behind the stage” inside the mini stadium on the press of a button. That’s something I would want to try. I’m ordering one through LEGO.
