Besides creating the official song, the “Titanium” hitmaker – who released his sixth album, “Listen”, last year – will develop the musical identity for the competition, including in-stadia audio and global broadcast sequences.

Guetta, who will also play a free concert at the Champ Mars in Paris on the eve of the tournament on June 9 2016, added, “We want the fans to be at the very heart of everything that we do.”

The acclaimed French DJ has collaborated with stars including Rihanna, Kelly Rowland and Sia during his career, although it is not yet known whether a vocalist will feature on the tournament’s anthem.
