A Closer Look at the LEGO World Cup Collection…

At the heart of this lineup is an extensive range of products celebrating the FIFA World Cup 2026™, headlined by the stunning 1:1 scale replica of the official trophy. This set is composed of over 2,800 pieces and uses specialised drum-lacquered gold elements to achieve a realistic metallic finish.

Beyond its striking golden exterior, the model hides a celebratory secret: a concealed interior chamber reveals a miniature football pitch and an exclusive FIFA World Cup 2026™ minifigure. Accompanied by a printed plaque listing every tournament winner since 1974, this is a collector’s centrepiece.

Another eye-catcher: the official ball. Completing the ultimate tribute to the ‘beautiful game’, the LEGO Group has introduced a life-sized replica of a standard Size 5 football. Far from being just a static display piece, this is a 1,498-piece model that serves as an engineering marvel within the new ‘LEGO Editions’ lineup.

While the exterior captures the iconic geometry and sleek patterns of a modern match ball, the interior houses a hidden surprise: a retractable mini-stadium. Yes, you read that right…

Designed with a sophisticated ‘open-and-play’ mechanism, the ball reveals a celebratory scene where fans can trigger a brick-built firework display to honour their favourite team’s victory. The model stands 22 cm tall and is finished with high-quality printed elements rather than stickers, ensuring a premium aesthetic.

The new LEGO Editions World Cup collection shifts towards high-end collectibles, specifically designed for sports enthusiasts and the “kidult” demographic. Which, of course, doesn’t mean that kids and the whole family can’t enjoy it just as much…

Build your Icon

The collection extends beyond these specialities, offering a diverse array of sets that capture the energy of global football. Fans can build “Football Legends” figures with highly detailed, brick-built models of icons like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, for example.

They can recreate career-defining moments with the “Football Highlights” series featuring stars like Kylian Mbappé and Vini Jr. We also get an artistic tribute to Messi’s 2022 victory, and buildable versions of the official tournament emblem further round out the series.

By blending intricate building techniques with the prestige of the World Cup, LEGO Editions allows fans to showcase their passion for the “beautiful game” through premium, display-ready pieces that bridge the gap between toys and lifestyle decor.
