Iolanda will represent Portugal in the final of the 68th Eurovision Song Contest, which will take place this Saturday in MalmO, in Sweden. The theme “Grito” will compete in the final with songs from 25 countries.
In the two semi-finals, 36 countries participated and 20 finalists were chosen. In addition to those selected, there are the “Big Five” – United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain and Italy -, countries that have direct passage to the final due to the financial contribution they make to the organization of the event. The host country, Sweden, also has direct entry into the grand final as it was the winner of the last edition of the event.
The order of performances is already known and Portugal, which is on track to win its second victory, will be the 18th country to take the stage. The festival kicks off with a show from Sweden and the closing of the big night is in charge of Austria.
