SWEDEN in the Eurovision Song Contest – Participation history

Sweden

Sweden made its Eurovision Song Contest debut in 1958, and is widely regarded to have produced one of the most successful winners of all time: ABBA with their entry ‘Waterloo’ in 1974.

Sverige has won the Contest 7 times and is tied with Ireland for the most number of victories. 

The most recent Swedish success was in Liverpool 2023, when Loreen took the trophy thanks to a mesmerising performance of her song Tattoo. She became the first woman to win the competition twice, having previously triumphed in Baku 2012 with ‘Euphoria’.

Loreen’s win also means that broadcaster SVT will host their 7th Eurovision Song Contest, following memorable shows in Stockholm (1975, 2000 and 2016), Gothenburg (1985) and Malmö (1992 and 2013).

Sweden’s Eurovision Song Contest history is peppered with winners and iconic performances, and since the introductions of the Semi-Finals in 2004 the country has failed to qualify only once. The unlucky artist was Anna Bergendahl, who has subsequently tried to rectify this by participating in the national final Melodifestivalen on a number of occasions.

NOTE:

  • Nel 2008 una giuria aveva il compito di ripescare un paese tra quelli classificatisi al di sotto del nono posto.
  • Se un paese vince l’edizione precedente, non deve competere nelle semifinali nell’edizione successiva. Inoltre, dal 2004 al 2007, i primi dieci paesi che non erano membri dei Big 4 non dovevano competere nelle semifinali nell’edizione successiva. Se, ad esempio, Germania e Francia si collocavano tra i primi dieci, i paesi che si erano piazzati all’11º e al 12º posto avanzavano alla serata finale dell’edizione successiva insieme al resto della top 10.
