The World Cup is underway in North America and LEGO have boosted the festivities with several new sets.

Whoever you are hoping to see lifting the iconic World Cup trophy next month, allow yourself to feel closer than ever to the magic.

Perhaps you would prefer to lift it yourself with the LEGO World Cup trophy - of course, you will have to build it first

For some, it is not necessarily about supporting a team, but about enjoying the way fans come together to watch the very best players at their peak.

Players like the iconic Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who have paved the way for the supreme talents of Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.

LEGO has given us the chance to celebrate all four, so we can bring the glory of the World Cup to our living rooms.

Football fans celebrate new LEGO sets

World Cup fever always becomes incredibly hard to ignore. Every four years, you tell yourself that it does not quite feel the same this time.

Fast-forward to a few days later, and you are settling down for a tantalising match-up between two nations you have never watched.

LEGO have played their part in boosting that feeling this summer, by offering a chance to bring the tournament to home.

Take the LEGO World Cup, which is made up of 2842 pieces and is bound to leave you feeling as if you are stepping up to lift the real thing once completed.

But there is more. LEGO's Ronaldo - Football Legend - set is also one that creates 854 pieces of fun, and the same can be said for the 958 of the Messi - Football Legend - set.

The Vini Jr - Football Highlights - set does the same for the Brazilian winger as he attempts to fire Brazil back to glory.

"They are really enjoyable to build and all the little details and effort they put in these sets are incredible," one review said.
