Just a month into the Eurovision New Year, more and more countries are revealing if they will be participating next year or not. The next country that has made up its mind is Albania, which will be joining the party in Switzerland.
Selection Method yet to be confirmed
Albania’s Eurovision 2025 participation was reported by ESCToday. However, RTSH is yet to confirm how they will be selecting their 21st Eurovision representative. It is expected that the broadcaster will once again be opting to use ‘Festivali i Këngës’ to once again select its representative, with the broadcaster in the midst of the preparations for the 63rd edition of the festival, with submissions recently closing.
Albania’s Eurovision Journey
In 2004, Albania made their debut into the Eurovision Song Contest with Anjeza Shahini with “Image of You”, which placed 7th in the final. Since their debut, Albania has participated 20 times, and made the final 10 times. They achieved their best result in 2012, where Rona Nishliu placed 5th with “Suus”.
Besa represented Albania in 2024 with the song “Titan”. “Titan” performed in the second semi-final, where it ultimately placed fifteenth out of sixteen, receiving 14 points from the televote.
