LEGO FIFA World Cup Trophy 43020: What's in the Box, Price and Where to Buy
One object has found its way onto the shelves of half the football-loving world this summer: a golden World Cup, 36 centimetres tall, built piece by piece on a dining table. It is not the real trophy (only the champions get to touch that one, on the night of the final), but it looks so much like it that it fools the eye from a metre away. It is the LEGO 43020, the official replica of football's most coveted trophy, and since it came out it keeps selling out as soon as it is restocked.
If you are thinking of giving it as a gift, or are simply curious about what comes in the box and how much it costs, this guide tells you straight: the 2,842 pieces, the hidden minifigure, who it is really worth buying for and where to buy it in Spain with a guarantee.
Updated in July 2026: with the 2026 World Cup now under way, the LEGO 43020 is still one of the most sought-after sets of the season. It stays at €175 at Híper Ocio and, because it belongs to the limited-production LEGO Editions collection, it takes a while to come back in stock each time it sells out. If you want it as a gift or for your collection, do not leave it until the last minute.
What is the LEGO 43020, the Official FIFA World Cup Trophy
The LEGO 43020 belongs to the LEGO Editions collection, a line of limited-production collectable sets tied to special events. It is not a permanent catalogue set: when it sells out, it sells out. It is an official replica of the FIFA World Cup trophy, so it faithfully reproduces what any fan recognises at a glance: the two human figures holding up the Earth, the golden globe at the top and the plaque on the base with the names of the world champions since 1974.
It has 2,842 pieces and, once built, stands about 36 cm tall. It is recommended for ages 12 and over: it is not a toy to build and take apart, but an advanced model designed to be built once and put on display.
What is in the box
Inside you will find everything needed to build the complete trophy, plus an extra or two that you cannot see in the photo:
- The 2,842 pieces of the model, with its golden finish and the green base.
- An exclusive FIFA World Cup 2026 minifigure holding a mini trophy.
- A backdrop decorated with the tournament's official logo.
- Printed instructions and, if you prefer, digital 3D instructions through the LEGO Builder app, where you can rotate the model and follow your progress step by step.
The secret of the globe: a hidden surprise
The detail people like most cannot be seen from the outside. The golden globe at the top hides a secret compartment: when you open it, a scene appears with the 2026 World Cup minifigure lifting its mini trophy against the official logo backdrop. That scene can be taken out and displayed separately, so you really get two pieces in one: the big trophy for the shelf and the little vignette for the desk. It is the kind of touch that turns a set into a conversation piece.
How much it costs and who it is worth buying for
At Híper Ocio the LEGO 43020 costs €175, below the usual recommended price (around €200). For context: it is a collector-level set, in the same vein as the LEGO models for adults, not a €30 children's set.
Who is it a good buy for?
- Football fans who want a collector's piece from the World Cup, beyond a shirt or a sticker album.
- Adult LEGO collectors looking for an advanced set with a handsome finished result to put on display.
- Anyone looking for an original gift with some appeal for a birthday, Christmas or a football celebration.
Who is it not for? Small children: because of the recommended age (12+) and the size of some of the pieces, it is not the best gift for a 6-year-old. For those ages, LEGO has much simpler football sets.
What it is like to build (and where to put it afterwards)
The 2,842 pieces make for a long and rewarding build. The trophy takes shape gradually (first the base, then the body and, at the end, the globe with its surprise inside), the sort of build that makes you say "one more piece and I'll stop" and carry on for another half hour. It is a good plan for a Sunday afternoon or for switching off after a long day.
When you finish, you are left with a 36 cm decorative piece with real presence. It fits on a living-room shelf, in a collector's display cabinet, on a desk or in an office: anywhere you want to show your love of football without resorting to a poster.
Is it worth it compared with other football gifts?
Compared with the traditional football gifts, the 43020 plays in a different league for durability. A shirt gets too small or goes out of fashion; a sticker album is completed (with luck) and ends up in a drawer. This trophy, on the other hand, is built once and stays on view for years, and the time spent building it comes as part of the gift. For an adult fan, it is one of those gifts that people remember.
If you are looking for something cheaper or for a small child, there are probably better options (a ball, a table football game or a simple LEGO set). But if you want to get it right for a football or LEGO fan who already has almost everything, this set is hard to beat: it is official, it looks great and not everyone has one.
