LEGO has revealed 40634 LEGO Icons of Play, a football-themed LEGO set featuring some of the biggest names in women’s football, just in time for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup!

The set features minifigures of some of the best women’s football players that will be representing their countries in the world cup, including Chelsea and Australian striker Sam Kerr, the United States’ National Women’s Team’s Megan Rapinoe, Nigerian and FC Barcelona striker Asisat Oshoala and former Japanese star Yuki Nagasato.

40634 LEGO Icons of Play will be available from LEGO.com, and LEGO stores from 6 June 2023 onwards. See below for regional pricing and product pages

• 40634 LEGO Icons of Play [US] – US$99.99
• 40634 LEGO Icons of Play [AUS] – AU$169.99
• 40634 LEGO Icons of Play [UK] – £89.99
• 40634 LEGO Icons of Play [EU] – €99.99
• 40634 LEGO Icons of Play [CA] – CAD$TBD

The set comes with a whopping 15 minifigures, which also includes a 5-a-side team including a goalie, a manager, a referee and some supporters in the stands.

The build is also quite substantial, and includes half a football field, a goal, TV cameras, a technical area for the manager, a trophy podium, and stands for the supporters.

I’m a huge football fan, and with the FIFA Women’s World Cup taking place in Australia and New Zealand this year, I’m extra excited for this set, especially as it comes with a Sam Kerr minifigure.

She’s one of the hottest names in women’s football, and will be a huge draw for this set.

Also helps that LEGO is a current sponsor of The Matildas, the Australian women’s national team.

The set also re-uses the jerseys from 21337 Table Football. The LEGO Foosball Table hasn’t been the best-received set, owing to its eye-watering price, but with the attention of the world upon the FIFA Women’s World Cup, I can see this one doing okay, especially as it seems like pretty decent value, for so many minifigures.

That said – LEGO has a very clear target audience for this set – fans of football, and the players represented here, and are likely hoping to jump on the excitement of the FIFA Women’s World Cup to convert football fans into LEGO fans.

What do you think of 40634 Icons of Play? Will you be interested in picking one up?

Special thanks to Dylan Chow for the heads up on this set!
