LEGO 2002 / Sports / Football Coca-Cola Sets

In 2002, LEGO released a series of Football Coca-Cola sets to promote the FIFA World Cup. These sets featured minifigures representing various national football teams, with Coca-Cola branding. The sets included mini-football fields, goal posts, and player minifigures, capturing the excitement of the World Cup and providing fans with collectible items themed around the event. The collaboration aimed to merge the popularity of LEGO with the global appeal of football and Coca-Cola.

2002 LEGO Sets

2002 was a mixed year of success and experimentation. Star Wars dominated with Episode II: Attack of the Clones sets and collector favorites like the Imperial Star Destroyer (10030), while the Western theme’s Fort LEGOredo (6762) gained long-term appeal. New themes included Spider-Man, Island Xtreme Stunts, and expanded Racers sets, but LEGO also faced missteps with Galidor and Spybotics—both short-lived departures from traditional building. Core themes such as Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Alpha Team remained strong, making 2002 a year of both breakthroughs and lessons learned.
