SMRTV, the Sammarinese national broadcaster has confirmed its participation at the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam and invited Senhit to represent San Marino at the competition next year in Rotterdam.

Thus San Marino joins the list of countries who have so far confirmed their 2020 ESC hopefuls for next year’s edition following the unprecedented cancellation of the event due to the coronavirus global outbreak.
