Cristiano Ronaldo said, \u201cIt\u2019s not every day you get to be transformed into a LEGO set! I\u2019m incredibly honoured to be part of this new lineup of LEGO Editions, alongside three other incredible players in the sport. I\u2019m looking forward to seeing fans from all over the world discover my story and sporting heritage by building this LEGO set, blending football and creativity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Julia Goldin, Chief Marketing and Product Officer at the LEGO Group said, \u201cWith these new sets we\u2019re bringing the thrill of football to life in a way that allows fans to build, create and celebrate. We wanted to capture the essence of some of today\u2019s greatest football players, and honour what makes them special, sparking imagination and excitement in kids and families worldwide. We know everyone wants a piece of the celebration and we can\u2019t wait for fans to experience the joy of building their favourite football icon and share their passion for the game with creativity and pride.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lionel Messi said,\u00a0\u201cSimilar to football, LEGO play is all about building and rebuilding, trying new things, learning from mistakes and celebrating successes. I love how these LEGO sets bring my on-pitch moments to life in a fun and imaginative way. I\u2019m thrilled for fans to explore the magic of football through these sets and together celebrate the sport we all love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pop-up fan zone experiences will bring\u00a0LEGO\u00a0play to\u00a0communities worldwide through activities such as LEGO Wall of Fame, which invites participants to design their own LEGO jerseys, and LEGO Brick Kickers, a fast-paced multiplayer game where kids kick footballs at a giant digital LEGO wall, smashing bricks to score points, unlock FIFA World Cup surprises and earn captain rewards.<\/p>\n

Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 said, \u201cFootball has taught me to dream big and to constantly push my limits. This LEGO set tells part of my story, but above all it captures the energy and creativity that make this sport so special. It\u2019s a fun way to share my journey and my passion. If it can inspire young people to believe in their ambitions, build their own path, and enjoy creating along the way, then that\u2019s a true victory.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vini Jr. added.\u00a0\u201cFootball is all about passion and creativity, and seeing my style captured in LEGO bricks is truly exciting. Just like on the field, these sets allow fans to explore new moves and celebrate the energy of the game. I hope they inspire everyone to build their own football dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n
