Collector and Investor Standing
LEGO Sports football gives collectors a whole game to fuss over, especially with the red and blue players and green and white goalie found in no other set. Investors have a harder time getting excited: the theme has grown slowly, and this game rarely trades.

Lego Maniacs' Guide
“This set is playing field for the new Lego soccer game. It works tremendously well, and playing it is great fun for two or more people. The field is set up for a 6 on 6 game, and uses special spring-mounted stands for your minifigs. These are actually quite well thought out.... More This set may offend Lego purists. It is very much intended to be a game. You build it, and maybe expand it a little, but mostly you are going to want to play it and not think much about it being Lego.”

“Lego soccer was introduced in the year 2000. This was the first soccer stadium ever made, and it was by far a successful attempt for a first. 5 players for each team (one team has white jerseys with vertical stripes and red sleeves, the other has green jerseys with vertical... More stripes) one goalie each team (with tessellating hexagons on their jerseys). Overall great fun set.”

About Sports Football

Football was the first part of LEGO Sports, launched in 2000, and it ran until 2007. The players stand on springy bases fixed in the pitch. A player kicks the ball when flicked, so a match is played by pushing and releasing the figures, and the bigger sets set out a whole pitch for two teams.

Football consists of 42 sets that ran from 2000 to 2007. As of today, 3420-2 Championship Challenge II Bayern Munich FC Edition is the most valuable Football set with an estimated new/sealed value of $1,870.
