Lego Unveils Life-Size World Cup Trophy in New FIFA Collaboration
Lego has officially unveiled a life-size World Cup trophy, crafted from 2,842 bricks. This exciting announcement was made in partnership with FIFA, signaling the introduction of Lego’s first World Cup-themed product line, set to launch next year.
Lego World Cup Trophy Details
The Lego rendition of the trophy matches the original’s dimensions, standing at 36.8 centimeters (14.5 inches). Unlike the original trophy, made of 18 carat gold and green malachite, the Lego version is entirely plastic. This makes it significantly lighter, weighing considerably less than the original’s 6.175 kilograms (13.6 pounds).
Pricing and Features
The Lego World Cup trophy will retail for $200, with sales commencing in March. A unique feature of this model is a hidden scene located within the upper globe section, which can be accessed through a slip mechanism.
World Cup Context
The original trophy has remained in the custody of FIFA, located in Zurich. The announcement comes as preparations intensify for the first-ever 48-team men’s World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This prestigious tournament is set to kick off on June 11.
