The LEGO Group are building towards 2026 in serious style. Teaming up with FIFA ahead of the next World Cup, the iconic toy brand have pulled together a proper meeting of footballing immortals to celebrate the reveal of the LEGO Editions FIFA World Cup Official Trophy — and the vibes are exactly what you’d hope for.
Ahead of next summer’s tournament, LEGO will roll out a dedicated product portfolio celebrating the biggest stage in the game, starting with the most iconic symbol of them all. Launching in March 2026, the LEGO FIFA World Cup Official Trophy is the first-ever, officially licensed 1:1 LEGO replica of world football’s ultimate prize. Built from an impressive 2,842 pieces, it’s designed as a centrepiece — something to build, display and obsess over as the tournament approaches.
A hidden scene sits inside the upper globe, revealed via a pullable slip, featuring the 2026 World Cup logo and an exclusive branded minifigure holding a miniature version of the trophy itself — a subtle nod to every fan’s dream of lifting it one day. Beneath the base, a printed plaque lists every World Cup winner since 1974, grounding the set firmly in football history.
Even the gold matters. Two different finishes — drum-lacquered bricks and moulded gold pieces — combine to give the trophy its unmistakable sheen. It’s also the first LEGO set ever to use this volume of gold-coloured elements, underlining just how special this one is meant to be.
And what better way to show it off than with the help of Roberto Carlos, Cafu, Iker Casillas, Sami Khedira and Marco Materazzi. Five winners. Five different journeys to the summit of world football.
In a behind-the-scenes video, the legends are given their first look at the LEGO trophy set, and the reactions do not disappoint. There’s laughter, disbelief, and that familiar glint in the eye that only comes from remembering what it feels like to lift the real thing. Stories spill out naturally — moments from finals, the weight of the trophy, the noise of the crowd — all refracted through a playful, nostalgic lens.
Naturally, things get competitive. Roberto Carlos and Cafu waste no time arguing over who gets to take the trophy home, before all five icons are handed personalised sets of their own. Beyond the jokes, though, there’s a genuine sense of reflection. On childhood dreams. On football as a form of immortality. And on why a LEGO World Cup trophy might just be the perfect bridge between generations of fans.
As Roberto Carlos puts it: “Winning the FIFA World Cup was one of the most incredible moments of my life, and I’ll never forget what it felt like to hold that trophy. I know we couldn’t have achieved it without our amazing fans and what this trophy means to them. Now, with the LEGO World Cup Trophy set, fans can create their own version and bring that magic home. This isn’t just about building a trophy; it’s about sharing the love of football with family and friends.”
The LEGO Editions FIFA World Cup Official Trophy building set is available for pre-order now at LEGO.com. It will be on sale on LEGO.com, LEGO Stores and in selected retailers around the world, starting 1st March 2026.
