Jennifer Lopez, Pitbull, Brazil's Claudio Leitte to front World Cup anthem

US popstar Jennifer Lopez, rapper Pitbull and Brazilian singer Claudio Leitte have all been chosen to front the official World Cup anthem for the tournament this summer.

The trio will feature on track 'We Are One (Ola Ola)', which is a follow-up to Shakira's 'Waka Waka' song from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

"I grew up in a house that loved 'futbol', so I am thrilled to be performing at the World Cup Opening Ceremonies with Pitbull and Claudia Leitte," Lopez said in a Sony statement.

The song, which will be performed at the opening ceremony before the tournament gets underway on June 12, will feature on the official album.
