A giant Lego version of the FIFA World Cup trophy is now on display at Rockefeller Plaza in New York, drawing crowds with its impressive size. The model stands nearly 8.5 meters tall and is constructed from more than 1.36 million Lego bricks. Brazilian football legend Cafu and Lego designer Christophe Vietti unveiled the structure, with children placing the final bricks before Cafu cut the ribbon.

The trophy was built in the Czech Republic and transported to Manhattan. A team of 56 builders spent over 7,000 hours on the project. Cafu commented that both football and Lego bring people together, whether children are playing in the street or building models at home.
