U2's Bono and The Edge have collaborated with DJ Martin Garrix on the official anthem for the 2020 UEFA European Football Championship.

The song, called We Are The People We've Been Waiting, is set for release on May 14 ahead of the delayed football tournament kicking off in June.

Garrix and U2's official Instagram accounts shared a picture confirming the collaboration and the song's release date.

Garrix confirmed he was asked to create a song for the Euros in October 2019 and said at the time that it was an 'incredible honour'.

"Music is my passion, but I'm also a huge football fan, so it’s extra special for me to be able to create the official song for what will be the biggest Euro in -history."

The Euros 2020 kick off on June 11 after being delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The final will be played at Wembley Stadium on July 11.
