The Columbian singer will fly out to Johannesburg in South Africa this summer to perform the winning single at both the opening and closing ceremonies of the sporting event on June 10 and July 11 respectively.

Upon hearing the news, she announced: "I am honoured that 'Waka Waka' was chosen to be part of the excitement and the legacy of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

"The FIFA World Cup is a miracle of global excitement, connecting every country, race, religion and condition around a single passion."

The star added: "It represents an event that has the power to unite and integrate, and that's what this song is about."
