The famous song contest will take place on May 10, 12 and 14, 2022 in Turin, Italy. After the victory of the Måneskin group, in 2021 in Rotterdam, Italy is the host of Eurovision this year. This 2022 edition is marked by the war in Ukraine. The board of directors of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has also decided to exclude Russia this year. The members of the Kalush Orchestra group, the candidates representing Ukraine, placed in the lead by the bookmakers, were still, a short time ago, away from the spotlight and from Eurovision, busy defending or helping their country in the war. Italians Mahmood and Blanco, selected during the traditional Sanremo festival, are also favourites, with their Brividi theme. They could offer Italy another victory on Saturday. France is represented by a group, Alvan & Ahez, who sing the title Fulenn in Breton. They were chosen among 12 candidates, after the telecrochet “Eurovision France: it’s you who decides”, organized by France Télévisions. They succeed Barbara Pravi, who finished second in Rotterdam, giving France her best ranking since 1991.
