Apart from Megan, the LEGO set includes three other players: Australia’s Sam Kerr; Nigeria’s Asisat Oshoala, and Japan’s Yuki Nagasato. The 899-piece set also offers a mini soccer field, stands, a dugout, a podium, and a camera for video-assisted review.

Not to mention, the adorable pink hair LEGO figurine has successfully gathered a lot of kids’ attention. LEGO stated that the Play Unstoppable campaign is based on a study that says girls are more likely to ignore gender stereotypes if engaged in creative play.
