Hollywood superstar Will Smith will perform the official World Cup 2018 song, according to reports.
The US entertainer is set to release a new song for the tournament on Friday, Billboard and Vibe magazines reported.
He is said to have recorded the track alongside fellow American Nicky Jam and Kosovar singer Era Istrefi.
The Men In Black star, 49, posted a photo of himself and Nicky Jam on his Instagram account together with an official FIFA World Cup football.

It is normal for the official World Cup song to be sung either at the beginning or end of the tournament.
This year's World Cup begins in Russia next month.
As his acting career took off in the 1990s, Smith also enjoyed success as a recording artist with number one hits such as Boom! Shake the Room but his singing career has taken a back seat to acting in recent years.
