In a collaboration that’s a perfect match for LEGO® play and football enthusiasts alike, the LEGO Group is teaming up with the FIFA World Cup 2026™ to bring creativity and fun into the world of football like never before, for fans of all ages around the world.
Throughout 2026, the LEGO Group will continue to roll out new products and experiences, ensuring everyone can join the fun. From FIFA Fan Festivals to special tournament events, there will be plenty of chances for LEGO enthusiasts and football fans alike to build, play, and share in the excitement of the beautiful game.
Ahead of the tournament, the LEGO Group will unveil a special product portfolio in March celebrating football’s biggest stage – with the first products announced, the iconic FIFA World Cup™ Official Trophy, and the LEGO® Editions Football Ball, in collaboration with FIFA.
The impressive trophy is an official 1:1 detailed replica of world football’s ultimate prize, made of 2,842 LEGO pieces. Inside the set there is the 2026 World Cup logo as well as an exclusive branded minifigure holding a mini–FIFA World Cup trophy toy, allowing all fans to imagine themselves as winners. A printed plaque underneath the base lists all the winning teams of the World Cup trophy since 1974, adding a collectible and historical aspect to the set.
The trophy also uses two different gold elements – drum-lacquered bricks and moulded gold pieces. This is the first time this many gold-coloured pieces have been used in a LEGO set.
Roberto Carlos, who won the FIFA World Cup for Brazil in 2002, said: “This isn’t just about building a trophy; it’s about sharing the love of football with family and friends.”
Kick-off your creativity with the LEGO® Editions Football Ball (43019) building set that contains 1,498 pieces packed with awesome details. It lets fans create an almost 1:1 LEGO soccer collectible based on the size 5 ball used in official football games. The collectible set includes LEGO Technic™ elements to achieve a rounded shape, and the outside of the ball features 6 stylish deco discs, while inside there’s an exciting mini stadium celebration scene waiting to be discovered.
New to the South African market: The LEGO® Editions FIFA World Cup™ Official Trophy, along with the LEGO® Soccer Ball, are now available for pre‑order at LEGO Certified Stores, with additional products opening for pre order in March.
Romy Gai, FIFA Chief Business Officer, said: “We are delighted to announce this groundbreaking collaboration with the LEGO Group. The LEGO brand is one of the world’s most loved and iconic brands, so joining forces with them to present football fans around the globe an opportunity to build their very own version of sport’s most prestigious trophy, the FIFA World Cup, provides perfect synergy.”
