Eurovision Song Contest - Fans Club Game 25

The 25th edition of Eurovision Song Contest - Fans Club Game was organised in The László Papp Budapest Sports Arena, Budapest, Hungary, following the country's victory in 24th edition of the contest in Canada with the song "Pók" by Carson Coma.

It was the first show held by the Hungarian broadcaster. All of the ceremonies were hosted by 3 country's former representatives in the contest: Boglárka Csemer (Edition 1), Giorgio Fekete (Edition 24 as a part of winning Carson Coma) and Rozina Pátkai (Edition 18)

Both Libya and Saudi Arabia made their debuts in the competition, with the former being the final North African country to debut and the latter the first Arabian peninsula country to appear in the event. It also marked the first time that Pakistan was chosen as the guest country.

Format
Due to the renewed interest in the contest therefore new contestants joining the Discord server, this edition's show consisted of 3 Semi-finals (with 9 qualifiers from each), a Second Chance round with 2 songs from each Semi-final, and the Grand Final show. Participating countries, just as usual, are bound to come from both geographical and historical Europe (with the addition of Canada, Japan, New Zealand and South Africa) with only one special guest (in this edition - Pakistan). The voting system has not changed; each country had a set of jury points from 1-8, 10 and 12 and 58 televoting points to give out to the participants. The songs chosen were meant to be found and selected by players themselves, both original records and covers, as well as the ones, which previously had taken part in Eurovision Song Contest. The running order has been revealed after randomization personally held by the contest's supervisor.
