FIFA Women's World Cup soccer officially kicks off today and with an astounding 32 nations competing for the top title, fans can expect stellar play in what will be the largest women’s tourney ever since its inauguration in 1991.
The games are spread across New Zealand and Australia, but you don’t need to be in the bleachers to partake in the excitement. Instead, you can score official gear like replica jerseys, sweatshirts, and something a little more interactive.
One of Lego’s latest sets delivers a half-pitch with bleachers and interactive elements. Still, the leading calling card is four exclusive minifigures of all-star women’s soccer players— Asisat Oshoala, Yūki Nagasato, Sam Kerr, and Megan Rapinoe.
The set, which contains 899 pieces and 15 Minifugres in total, is down to its lowest price ever at just $80. That’s a 20% discount or $20 off from the $100 price tag.

Like most Lego sets, Icons of Play emphasizes the details. The half-pitch field comes with a goal, proper fencing around the field, and cameras to capture the event. You can also move the goalie figure from the left or right to block a shot from the other figures. Elements like soccer balls, practice cones in various colors, and other field elements are all included.
Additionally, Icons of Play includes a bench for the team and bleachers for the faithful fans to watch the action. Even neater, it’s complete with a scoreboard that can be adjusted with a crank. The latter is a fun element that increases the overall intensity of the build.
Last but not least, what soccer pitch is complete without a stage to celebrate a win and receive a trophy, which is a necessity and is included as well. The stars here, though, are the four Minifigures of the athletes you can play with on the field for a two-on-two or one-on-one match or simply to proudly display your favorite athlete.
The Icons of Play Set is up for order now at Lego’s online store and stands out with a sharp 20% discount. It could be the perfect gift for a young soccer fan—or, honestly, a fan at any age—watching the Women’s World Cup in real time.
