Featuring Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappe, and Vinicius Junior, the new LEGO® Editions range transforms football’s biggest superstars into collectable builds packed with references, celebrations and hidden easter eggs that fans will instantly recognise.
The collection arrives just as hype around The FIFA World Cup 26™ begins to explode - and social media reactions suggest supporters are already scrambling to get their hands on the sets before they sell out.
It includes collectable sets that capture their unique journeys, signature style and hidden easter eggs for fans to discover. From cinematic 'Football Highlights' builds to larger-scale Cristiano Ronaldo & Lionel Messi 'Football Legend' sets, the collection invites fans of all ages to build, display and celebrate their love of the game at home.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic “Siuuu” celebration becomes a LEGO® set
LEGOFor fans of Ronaldo, this might be the standout release.
The Portuguese icon’s LEGO Football Legend set forms a sculptural R-shaped brick base showing Portugal’s colours and Ronaldo’s iconic CR7. Inside the model, fans can find detailed easter eggs tracing Ronaldo’s journey, alongside a Ronaldo LEGO minifigure and a collectable plaque.
Lionel Messi’s LEGO® could be the ultimate football collector’s item
LEGOMessi fans are also getting multiple releases as part of the campaign, including a premium wall-art style build inspired by the Argentine superstar’s iconic victory pose.
The larger-scale Messi set features over 1,400 pieces and recreates the legendary No.10 pointing towards the sky after scoring, complete with Argentina-inspired detailing and references to his career.
There is also a separate Football Legend version that allows fans to display Messi dribbling or celebrating, making it one of the most versatile football collectables LEGO® has released to date.
Mbappe and Vinicius Jr sets celebrate football’s next generation
LEGOWhile Messi and Ronaldo represent football royalty, LEGO® has also heavily leaned into the future of the sport with dedicated builds for Mbappe and Vinicius Jr.
Mbappe’s set focuses on speed, flair and France-inspired styling, while Vinicius Jr’s build channels the Brazilian winger’s energy and creativity with dynamic poses and vibrant colours.
The sets are designed to appeal to younger football fans who follow highlights, celebrations and football culture across TikTok, YouTube and social media as much as the matches themselves.
The FIFA World Cup™ Official Trophy gets the LEGO® treatment
LEGOAlongside the player-inspired builds, LEGO® has also released the FIFA World Cup™ Official Trophy, bringing football’s most iconic prize into brick form ahead of The FIFA World Cup 26.
Combined with the player collections, the campaign feels perfectly timed ahead of next summer’s tournament as football fans begin gearing up for the biggest sporting event on the planet.
