DJ and music producer David Guetta is to write and produce the official UEFA EURO 2016 song, which will be released in the run up to the tournament, which opens June 10 with a ceremony at the Stade de France that Guetta will perform at.

Guetta commented 'It is incredibly exciting ... to be part of this huge football tournament in my home country. Music and football go hand in hand when it comes to celebration and enjoyment and I want to help to make this EURO the biggest and most memorable yet'. His role will also include creating the 'musical identity' for the event, providing the soundtrack for in-stadia audio and global broadcast sequences.
