Football legends team up to build LEGO FIFA World Cup Trophy

Four football legends have joined forces to assemble 43020 FIFA World Cup Official Trophy in a new LEGO Editions promotional video.

A whopping nine new LEGO Editions sets were officially revealed today and are already available to pre-order, all based around some of football’s greatest ever players and the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026. To promote the models, four famous faces from the beautiful game appear together in a video for the LEGO Editions theme, as they each attempt to put the finishing touches to a copy of 43020 FIFA World Cup Official Trophy.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi, and Vini Jr. have also shared their thoughts and excitement about next month’s LEGO Editions models and how the various builds connect to key moments from their own football journeys.

“It’s not every day you get to be transformed into a LEGO set,” said Ronaldo. “I’m incredibly honoured to be part of this new lineup of LEGO Editions, alongside three other incredible players in the sport. I’m looking forward to seeing fans from all over the world discover my story and sporting heritage by building this LEGO set, blending football and creativity."

"Football has taught me to dream big and to constantly push my limits,” added Mbappé. “This LEGO set tells part of my story, but above all it captures the energy and creativity that make this sport so special. It’s a fun way to share my journey and my passion. If it can inspire young people to believe in their ambitions, build their own path, and enjoy creating along the way, then that’s a true victory."

The promotional video arrives ahead of the launch of the latest wave of LEGO Editions sets on May 1 and the tournament kicking off on June 11. The theme will be delivering a wide selection of builds, including dioramas with minifigures, a team jersey, a FIFA World Cup 2026 emblem and buildable figures.

"Similar to football, LEGO play is all about building and rebuilding, trying new things, learning from mistakes and celebrating successes,” explained Messi. “I love how these LEGO sets bring my on-pitch moments to life in a fun and imaginative way. I'm thrilled for fans to explore the magic of football through these sets and together celebrate the sport we all love."

“Football is all about passion and creativity,” said Vini Jr., “and seeing my style captured in LEGO bricks is truly exciting. Just like on the field, these sets allow fans to explore new moves and celebrate the energy of the game. I hope they inspire everyone to build their own football dreams.”

In addition to the nine new LEGO Editions football sets arriving next month, there will be pop-up fan zone experiences worldwide to promote the builds, with activities such as the chance to design jerseys for the LEGO Wall of Fame.

LEGO Brick Kickers will also appear at the events, a fast-paced multiplayer game where kids get to kick footballs at a giant digital LEGO wall, smashing bricks to score points, unlocking FIFA World Cup surprises and earning special captain rewards.
