What are the odds of you or perhaps your kids making it to the FIFA World Cup? Probably never. So, it is safe to say owning, let alone touching, the revered trophy remains a fantasy. Well, that’s if soccer is your thing. But not all hopes are lost because there’s a brick-built version that is probably more satisfying than winning the FIFA World Cup. Enter the LEGO Editions FIFA World Cup Official Trophy Set (43020).
This is the first time the World Cup Trophy is offered as a proper 1:1 build, which means this is as close as mortals can get to hoisting football’s greatest prize. Standing 14.5 inches (36 cm) tall and built using 2,842 pieces, the experience of assembling it may actually feel more stressful than a finals penalty shootout—minus the crying on live TV.
The Trophy features a mix of moulded gold-toned elements and drum-lacquered metallic bricks, making this the most gold-heavy LEGO set to date. But this isn’t just a display object. Inside the globe section is a hidden pull-open compartment with an interior reveal: the official 2026 World Cup logo, plus an exclusive minifigure clutching its own tiny trophy. Technically, that makes this the world’s only trophy that contains another trophy.
A printed plaque lines the base, listing championship-winning nations from 1974 onwards. Depending on your allegiance, that part may sit proudly on display or quietly turned away from guests.
So, yes—you will never lift the real trophy, but you can build one, display it, dust it occasionally, and proclaim victory in your living room.
The LEGO Editions FIFA World Cup Official Trophy Set arrives in March 2026 at US$199.99, which is still cheaper than airfare to a quarter-final exit.
