Lego has partnered with FIFA to unveil a full-size Lego World Cup trophy set ahead of next yearโs official World Cup lineup. The new model recreates the real World Cup trophyโs height of 14.5 inches and is built from 2,842 bricks.
The original trophy, introduced for the 1974 World Cup, is made of 18-carat gold and green malachite and weighs 13.6 pounds. The Lego version uses plastic pieces, making it lighter, and includes a hidden diorama inside the upper globe section that can be opened by pulling a slip mechanism.
The set will be priced at $200 and will launch in March.
The 2026 World Cup, the first to feature 48 teams, will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The tournament is scheduled to begin on June 11, 2026.
