Malta’s Eurovision journey
Malta made its Eurovision debut in 1971, with Joe Grech performing โMarija I-Maltijaโ (Maria the Maltese Lass), finishing 18th with 52 points. Malta did not participate in Eurovision from 1975 until 1991, when they returned with the song โCould It Beโ by Paul Giordimaina and Georgina, finishing 12th with 32 points. Since then, Malta has been at every Eurovision and finished in the top 10 an impressive 12 times. Their best result is second place, which theyโve achieved twice. The first time was in 2002, when Ira Losco sang โ7th Wonder,โ and the second time in 2005 with Chiaraโs โAngel.โ
Sarah Bonnici represented Malta in 2024 with her song “Loop”. When all was said and done, Sarah placed 16th in the second semifinal, garnering 13 points.
