San Marino’s Eurovision Journey
San Marino confirmed its participation in Eurovision 2025, using “Una Voce per San Marino” as its selection method for the fourth consecutive year. The competition aims to include both new and established artists from around the world.
Despite concerns expressed by San Marino’s Secretary of State Federico Pedini Amati about the country’s recent non-qualifications—stating, “There is something that doesn’t sit right with me. Three years in a row we are out of the final. First Achille Lauro, then Piqued Jacks, and now Megara. It almost seems that small countries are punished too much. The game cannot be only for big countries”—San Marino has fortunately confirmed its continued participation in the Eurovision Song Contest.
