The Netherlands in Eurovision 2023

The Netherlands are joining the contest for the 63rd time. They debuted in the founding event in Lugano in 1956 and have won five times already, a score which place the country among the most successful in the history of Eurovision. Last year S10 convinced both the audience and the international jury with her entry De diepte and laded in 11th place in the Grand Final. Can Mia Nicolai and Dion Cooper do even better?
