Whether you grew up in the generation of Ricky Martin's "The Cup of Life" or Shakira's "Waka Waka," it's time to announce that the FIFA world cup might just have its third anthemic hit by latin stars. According toFIFA, a brand new Pitbull and Jeniffer Lopez collaboration called "We Are One (Ole Ola)" has been named as the official anthem for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The song also features Brazilian singer Claudia Leitte, and will be performed at the opening of the football tournament at the Arena de Sao Paulo on 12 June, 2014.

"I'm honored to join Jennifer Lopez and Claudia Leitte at the FIFA World Cup to bring the world together," Pitbull said in a statement. "I truly believe that this great game and the power of music will help unify us, because we are best when we are one."

Jeniffer Lopez had a much more personal link to the collaboration. When approached for a statement the "Jenny From the Block" singer took it back to her roots.

"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," says Jennifer Lopez. "This is an amazing celebration of global unity, competition and the sport."

The track will be released later this year in the lead up to the World Cup. It will also be included on the upcoming official 2014 Fifa World Cup album.
