LEGO FIFA World Cup Collection Channels Football Icons

LEGO is tapping into the global energy of the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup with a new collection that brings some of the sport’s biggest names into brick form. For the first time, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé, and Vinícius Júnior each receive their own official minifigure, marking a major moment for both collectors and football fans alike.

The initial drop focuses on the Soccer Highlights line, where each player is paired with a compact display build. These sets lean into letter-based designs inspired by each athlete’s name and national identity, while subtle details and hidden references nod to defining moments across their careers. It’s a more considered approach that elevates them beyond standard collectible releases.

For Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the collection expands further with larger Soccer Legend builds. These sets introduce dual pose options, allowing fans to recreate different signature moments—an important detail when both players have careers filled with instantly recognizable highlights.

The standout, however, belongs to Messi. His 1,427-piece Celebration set transforms one of his iconic goals into a wall-ready display piece, blurring the line between sports memorabilia and art. Designed with presentation in mind, it anchors the collection as its most ambitious and visually striking release.

Blending sport, culture, and design, this collection captures the global reach of football while offering a new format for storytelling through LEGO. As anticipation builds toward 2026, it’s a timely release that connects generations of fans through both play and display. The LEGO FIFA World Cup Collection will be available starting May 1, 2026.
