The FIFA World Cup 2026™ meets LEGO© creativity

LEGO has become one of the world’s most iconic toy brands and, since launching its first football-themed collection in 1998, has become increasingly connected to the beautiful game.

Ahead of The FIFA World Cup 2026™, it has launched a fresh collection showcasing some of the world’s leading stars and capturing the emotion of what is sure to be a blockbuster tournament.

Fans both young and old will love coming together to build the latest collectables, which include spectacular models of Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The showpiece of the collection is the FIFA World Cup™ Official Trophy, which is a 2842-block likeness of the official trophy. This life-sized model, which would make an ideal display piece, comes with its own mini-figure, which pops out of the trophy holding a miniature rendering of the prize.

Similarly, The FIFA World Cup 2026™ ball is another iconic set that is unique to this competition. It is a LEGO replica of the size 5 football that will be used across North America this summer but is distinguished by popping open to display a packed stadium celebrating the winning team.

A smaller yet no less eye-catching build is the FIFA World Cup 2026™ Official Emblem. This will make a wonderful keepsake for fans of the competition to be enjoyed in the years ahead and comes with a display stand, allowing you to show off your build to friends and family.

Lionel Messi LEGO©

Defending champions Lionel Messi is also represented in a high-end piece. The Barcelona icon has his own Celebration build, which depicts him in his iconic pose after scoring, with both index fingers pointed to the air. Packed with detail, this build consists of 1427 blocks.

For Messi fans seeking a slightly smaller challenge, LEGO has produced a Football Legend build for the great Argentine. This also shows him in his famous celebration pose but at 958 blocks is a slightly smaller set.

Lionel Messi – Football Highlights, meanwhile, is an artistic rendering of the Inter Miami ace scoring in Argentine colours. It’s a display-worthy piece that any football fan would be proud to show.

Cristiano Ronaldo LEGO©

LEGO also celebrates the legacy of Cristiano Ronaldo in this collection, with the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star immortalised in blocks.

The Cristiano Ronaldo – Football Legend build shows him in his trademark pose after scoring a goal. It’s an 854-block build that is a must for fans of ‘CR7’ to show off their loyalty.

His athleticism, meanwhile, is celebrated in the Cristiano Ronaldo – Football Highlights set. This shows the Portugal great delivering a spectacular overhead kick into the net, with flames coming from the ground to highlight his power.

Mbappe and Vini Jr LEGO© builds

As well as the legendary figures of Messi and Ronaldo, there are also builds of two current greats: Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.

The Kylian Mbappe – Football Highlights build showcases the Real Madrid speedster scoring in front of the Arc de Triomphe and offers a neat nod to his FIFA World Cup 2018™ triumph, with two stars sitting above the iconic Paris landmark. This piece would make a particularly nice keepsake for any France fans.

Rounding off the collection is the Vinicius Junior – Football Highlights piece, which intricately shows the winger finding the net in a bright build packed with Brazil’s traditional gold, green and blue colours.

With FIFA World Cup 2026™ set to capture the attention of football fans across the globe, LEGO’s latest collection looks perfectly timed to bring tournament fever into homes this summer. Whether supporters are searching for a display piece, a collectible keepsake or simply a fun new challenge, there is something in the range for fans of every generation.
