Sharjah24 – Reuters: As Copenhagen prepares to host group stage matches in the European Championships, Lego on Tuesday (June 2) unveiled what they called the world's largest Lego football, built by employees during the pandemic lockdown.
At the Lego House in Billund - home of the Lego brick - everyone from cleaners, designers, kitchen staff, play agents and the CEO have contributed.
Together, they built the giant ball using 173,600 classic 2x2 Lego bricks, a task that took them 150 hours.
The football weighs 2.5 tonnes and is over 4 metres high. It is composed of 75 modules in black and white, which the designer Soeren Hansen Hinge said felt like the classic football design.
Lego CEO Jesper Vilstrup said the football was two major passions - soccer and Lego - combined into one.
Until the EURO2020 final on July 11, everyone will be able to access the Lego Square and take a look at the ball for free.
