Football-loving Columbian star Skakira will perform at the opening of the four-billion-hryvnia football stadium in Kyiv on Oct. 8. Olympiysky is the main arena to host the Euro-2012 championship football matches next year.

“Kyiv arena will be opened by the same singer, who was closing Johannesburg ceremony [at the World Football Championship in South Africa],” said Infrastructure Minister Borys Kolesnikov on Sept. 26 in Lviv.

Shakira, famous for her love of football, wrote a song “Waka-Waka” that became an official hymn of World Football Championship in South Africa in 2010.


“And Anastacia’s voice will fit Lviv sports arena opening the best,” added Kolesnikov announcing another celebrity to descend on Ukraine in October.

It was earlier reported that Bryan Adams would perform at the opening ceremony in Lviv on Oct. 28.
