Rita Ora teams up with UEFA for Together #WePlayStrong

Rita Ora has partnered with UEFA in the hope of getting more females interested in football.

Ora has teamed up with the European football governing body, who are sponsoring her The Girls Tour, for their Together #WePlayStrong campaign.

The UK singer and actress said: “The values of Together #WePlayStrong centre not only around football but female empowerment and equality too, so I was 100% behind this campaign when I was approached to partner with UEFA.

“It’s a privilege to be part of such an inspiring initiative, driving home messages of acceptance, individuality and finding a place to belong. 

"My message to any young girl that’s thinking of picking up a ball is to just go for it! 

"Being part of a team inspires confidence, builds friendships and can be liberating.”

Peter Willems, Head of Marketing and Sponsorship Activities at UEFA, added: "We’re excited to have Rita Ora on board with Together #WePlayStrong. 

"We believe we’ve formed the perfect partnership that will help to grow the game across Europe for young girls.

“Our partnership will continue to evolve with dynamic surprises that will help connect UEFA to the world of young women through music, entertainment, fashion and sport."
