- BY LUCY MAPSTONE

RITA Ora will perform at Soccer Aid as part of her new role as a UK ambassador for charity Unicef.

She will sing during halftime at the June 16 match, featuring Michael Owen, Eric Cantona, Usain Bolt, Sir Mo Farah and Line of Duty’s Martin Compston.

An England XI, managed by Susanna Reid and Sam Allardyce, will play a World XI, bossed by Piers Morgan and Harry Redknapp.

The star-studded clash at Chelsea’s ground will be broadcast live on ITV.

Ora, 28, recently travelled to her native Kosovo to see how Unicef is improving health and education for children.

She said: “This year’s Soccer Aid will be bigger and better than ever.

“To play right in the middle of Stamford Bridge at half-time is brilliant.”
