"Congratulations to Basel," said Reto Peritz and Moritz Stader, the co-executive producers of the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC), in a statement. "We look forward to working with you to make the ESC an unforgettable experience for everyone."
The choice of Basel and the St. Jakobshalle was based on criteria such as the suitability of the hall to host the event, sustainability and security, available funding and 'creative ideas for side events.'
According to SSR-SRG, after Swiss singer Nemo won the 68th edition of the event in Malmo, Sweden, Switzerland secured the hosting rights for the Eurovision Song Contest.
The event will take place in the St. Jakobshalle, which is known for tennis tournaments and other sporting events. It can accommodate 12,000 people.
