LONDON (AP) \u2014 It’s life-sized. world cup soccer trophy<\/span> \u2014 Made with 2,842 LEGO bricks.<\/p>\n

Lego on Wednesday announced a partnership with FIFA to launch the classic Danish toy brand’s first World Cup series next year.<\/p>\n

The Lego version of the trophy, first unveiled at the 1974 World Cup, is exactly the same, measuring 36.8 centimeters (14 1\/2 inches) tall.<\/p>\n

However, the Lego brick trophy will now be made of plastic rather than 18-carat solid gold and green malachite, making it easier to lift than the original’s 6.175 kilograms (13.6 pounds).<\/p>\n

It will be released in March for $200 and will include “a hidden scene that can be opened via a pull-out slip in the top globe,” Lego said in a statement.<\/p>\n

FIFA keeps the original trophy in Zurich.<\/p>\n

The first 48-team Men’s World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, will begin on June 11th.<\/p>\n
