The track, which is called ‘We Are The People We’ve Been Waiting’, is reportedly set for release on May 14 ahead of the European Championships kicking off in June.
According to The Sun, the U2 frontman and guitarist are currently in London to a record a video for the track alongside the Dutch DJ.
A music insider said: “Martin adores football so this opportunity was massive for him, which is why he aimed for the very top when looking for collaborators.
“He has spent months and months working on this song to make it perfect and once Bono and The Edge were on board, it hit new heights. They have spoken quite a few times and are in London at the moment working on the video. They can’t wait to get it out there for everyone to listen to really soon.”
