In a move that has captured worldwide attention, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Jr. star in a Lego ad campaign that connects directly to the excitement leading up to the 2026 World Cup, to be held in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
The ad, released by the Danish brand and also broadcast on the players‘ social networks, features the four stars sitting around a table as they compete to build a Lego version of the World Cup trophy. The scene mixes competition, humor and symbolism, representing the constant struggle for the ultimate soccer title.
An unexpected ending that connects with new generations

The most striking part of the commercial occurs at the end:
When it looks like one of the players will be able to complete the trophy, a child intervenes and places the final piece.
The figure depicts the child himself lifting the World Cup.
Sending a clear message about the future of soccer and the role of the new generations.
This approach is especially relevant to the Latino community in the United States, where soccer continues to grow in popularity.
And where the 2026 World Cup will have a direct impact on key cities such as Los Angeles, Miami, Houston and New York.
