Looking for the perfect Father’s Day present this year? Look no further than LEGO’s latest collection, featuring some of football’s biggest stars.

Sets that include the World Cup trophy, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe are sure to provide hours of fun ahead of this summer’s tournament.

In what looks certain to be a legendary international farewell for two of the sport’s biggest stars, football’s grandest stage will travel to the United States, Canada and Mexico for matches in June and July.

While Messi and Ronaldo say goodbye, Mbappe and Vinicius Junior are set to represent the following generation as they look for international glory.

All four players can be celebrated this summer with their own LEGO sets, which are bound to turn any Father’s Day into hours of fun.

Football legends commemorated in LEGO

Football fans have expressed their excitement about the LEGO drop, and it is easy to see why.

The official FIFA World Cup trophy set provides a chance for anyone to lift the iconic trophy, which will be a celebration well earned after building the 2842-piece model.

But there’s more – included inside the globe of the trophy is the place for a mini-figure, who has a World Cup of his own to lift.

Football fans of certain loyalties may prefer to gift, or buy themselves, the sets that celebrate legendary footballers Ronaldo and Messi.

The 854-piece set of the Real Madrid and Manchester United legend pictures him in the midst of his SIU celebration, and wearing the iconic red and green of Portugal.

LEGO Messi, too, is brought to life in Argentinian blue and white with a 958-piece set that pictures his point to the sky – a tribute to his late grandmother.

Both models include each player’s signature at the base, and, of course, the FIFA World Cup football.

Father’s Day made perfect with LEGO

The younger football fans may be fonder of the likes of Mbappe and Vini Jr, and they, too, are commemorated in LEGO sets.

The World Cup winner is featured blasting a rapturous shot in his highlights package, which also includes his iconic number 10 for France.

A similar LEGO Vini Jr is available and features a similar scene, including the colours of Brazil and his number seven.

Whoever you choose, LEGO’s latest sets are sure to make for the perfect present for any football-loving Father.
