Portugal in the Eurovision Song Contest
Out of 55 participations to date, Portugal has won the Eurovision Song Contest only once – in 2017 with Salvador Sobral’s ‘Amar pelos dois‘. To this day, it holds the record for the most points in the history of the contest with 758. Their next best result was with ‘O meu coração não tem cor‘ by Lúcia Moniz back in 1996, which finished in sixth place. Currently, the Iberian nation is enjoying a run of four qualifications in a row.
Earlier this year, Iolanda won Festival da Canção 2024 with ‘Grito’. During the Malmö contest, ‘Grito’ achieved 10th place in the Grand Final with 152 points. Thus, becoming only their third top 10 placing this century.
