​​Welcome to Liverpool
"Capital of Pop Music"

Famous for being the birthplace of the Beatles, Liverpool is a vibrant city with an outstanding cultural heritage. Awarded the prestigious title of European Capital of Culture in 2008, Liverpool features several World Heritage-listed attractions in its historic central district. The city possesses the largest national museum collection outside London, and is home to Europe’s oldest Chinatown. With a population fiercely passionate about sports, Liverpool is home to two successful soccer clubs, long considered among Britain’s and Europe’s finest. Once a great maritime center, this modern city is now the hub of the region’s bustling nightlife and boasts a lively culinary scene, both drawing their fair share of tourism. Liverpool’s explosive energy is evident in a wide range of internationally renowned cultural events, including Europe’s largest free annual music festival.

The Result

For the first few set of votes, everything was open, and several countries took turn taking the lead. Portugal quickly pulled ahead though, with only France putting up a fight. However, when all the votes were counted, France had not caught up and Portugal could be crowned as the champion for the fourth time. France had to settle for the silver and Cyprus took the bronze. Denmark and Armenia rounded out the top 5 - the best result ever for Armenia.

Portugal has been a consistent player, having competed 76 times, qualifying for the final on 41 occasions and finishing in the top 14 times, including 4 gold medals. As the numbers show, it has been up and down for Portugal over the years, and they had an especially hard time following their 3rd victory, after which they did not finish in the top 20 for 22 consecutive editions! With Sandro as their 4th HoD, things seem to be lightening up now, and this gold medal is his 4th top 10 finish for Portugal. Prior to heading the Portuguese delegation, Sandro was the German HoD for a long time, and also won the gold plus five silver medals and 2 bronze medals for Germany. Well done Kika, Portugal and Sandro!
