In Belgium, there are 2 national broadcasters:
- RTBF – French-speaking Community of Belgium
- VRF – Flemish Community of Belgium
The two broadcasters rotate selection for the Eurovision Song Contest each year.
For example, in the years 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2022 and 2024 it was RTBF’s responsibility to lead Eurovision participation. Meanwhile, in the years 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020 (and 2021 due to the fact that Eurovision was canceled) and 2023 it was VRT’s turn.
Therefore, VRT will lead the selection process for the country for Eurovision 2025.
VRT‘s Eurovision commentator Peter Van de Veire gave an interview to the Belgian Eurovision website Songfestival.be
In the interview, he was asked about Belgium’s plans for Eurovision 2025.
Peter hosted the last national selection “Belgium Eurosong 2023″ and he will host the national selection for Eurovision 2025 as well.
According to him, the main reason why VRT chose to follow the plans for 2023 was Gustaph’s achievements (7th place in the final and music tour in Europe)
Peter said:
I have news for you. We are going to organize another edition of Eurosong . This paid off last time, we had a unique winner. It was a nice formula and Gustaph has had a European career.
The decision to reorganize the preselection was quickly made. Further information is not yet known and this will be discussed later. But: “I’m going to present it and we’ll end up with a big show.
Mustii represented Belgium at Eurovision 2024 with the song “Before The Party’s Over”.
Unfortunately, he didn’t qualify for the final:
Eurovision 2025 will be held in Switzerland
