San Marino in Eurovision Song Contest
San Marino is one of the newest – and smallest Eurovision countries.
They have been participating 11 times since their first Eurovision Song Contest in 2008. But not with great success. In eight out of the 11 participations they didn't manage to qualify for the Grand Final. San Marino qualified for the Grand Final three times: In 2014, 2019 and 2021. The worst results were in 2017 and 2008, where they came last in their Semi-final.
