International DJ and music producer David Guetta is calling on 1 million fans to help make the official song for UEFA EURO 2016. Guetta, the tournaments music ambassador, will devise the soundtrack but wants the help of as many supporters as possible to create a global No1 hit.

RECORD WITH GUETTA

Im so excited to be working with UEFA on this project in my home country, said Guetta. UEFA EURO 2016 is all about the fans and I want to put them at the heart of everything, especially the song. So Im trying something very special and asking fans around the world to unite around the festival of football and help me record this anthem.

The Frenchman, who will write and produce the song, will be the figurehead for UEFAs global music campaign. He will perform live at the Stade de France for the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as at a fan concert in central Paris and an interactive experience as part of the UEFA EURO 2016 Trophy Tour.

Fans can get involved by visiting this page and following certain simple steps to record their part. David will take the fans recordings and mix them into his UEFA EURO 2016 anthem This Ones For You, which will be released into the charts in April 2016.

All supporters who record with Guetta will receive a unique piece of personalised artwork and be entered into a draw to win tickets for the opening game and the opportunity to meet Guetta himself. The winner will also be a VIP guest at his free concert on the eve of the tournament at the Champ de Mars, under the Eiffel Tower.

UEFA marketing director Guy-Laurent Epstein said: As one of the most followed producers on the planet, we hope that David Guetta can inspire fans all around the world to be part of the official song. Music and football go hand in hand when it comes to celebration and enjoyment and we want the soundtrack to this EURO to be the most memorable yet. We want the fans at the very heart of what will be a song with great energy and a tournament with great spirit and atmosphere.

The official song for UEFA EURO 2016 will be integrated throughout the tournament, including the opening and closing sequences for every television match broadcast, and will also be performed by Guetta at the opening and closing ceremonies.
