LEGO offers the ultimate prize for the 2026 World Cup: here’s how you can get your hands on it

With anticipation building following last weekend’s UEFA Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal, soccer fans across the United States are counting down the days until the 2026 FIFA World Cup begins. Just nine days remain before the tournament kicks off at Mexico City’s legendary Estadio Azteca, the first stadium in history to host three World Cup opening games and the venue where Diego Maradona produced two of soccer’s most famous moments in 1986 – the “Goal of the Century” and the controversial “Hand of God.” As excitement grows ahead of the June 11 opener between Mexico and South Africa, there is a new way for fans to pass the time: building LEGO’s official FIFA World Cup Trophy replica.

Available on Amazon, where it holds an impressive 4.8-out-of-5 average rating, this replica of soccer’s most recognizable trophy arrives in LEGO form, allowing fans to recreate the moment of lifting the sport’s ultimate prize. Before that happens, however, builders will need to assemble nearly 3,000 pieces. Packed with intricate details, including the iconic globe and commemorative plaque, the set also features a minifigure and a hidden compartment containing a surprise. LEGO Builder, the company’s interactive app, allows users to follow instructions in 3D and track their progress throughout the build.

A detailed replica of the FIFA World Cup Trophy

This collectible LEGO display set is described by the manufacturer as a “detailed” recreation of the FIFA World Cup Trophy designed for soccer fans ages 12 and up. The model faithfully reproduces the trophy’s signature design, including the two human figures supporting the Earth, the distinctive globe, and a plaque listing previous World Cup champions.

One of the most eye-catching features is a hidden compartment inside the upper globe section. Inside is a minifigure branded for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada. The figure holds a miniature trophy and can be removed and displayed alongside the completed model.

Nearly 3,000 pieces make up the World Cup LEGO set

The FIFA World Cup Trophy replica consists of 2,842 pieces and stands approximately 14 inches tall (36 centimeters). To make the project easier to manage, builders can access a digital version through the LEGO Builder app, where they can monitor progress and rotate the model using interactive 3D technology.

Once completed, the trophy becomes what LEGO describes as an “impressive soccer-themed display piece.” The company also offers several other sports-inspired collectible building sets as part of its Editions collection.

“The build is simple and enjoyable. As always, LEGO has paid attention to even the smallest detail. Up close it may look like a collection of gold-colored pieces, but once you step back and admire the finished model, everything comes together. You’re looking at a true work of art that immediately stands out,” one Amazon reviewer wrote.
