Akylas to represent Greece at Eurovision 2026

Akylas was selected to represent Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 following his victory in the national final with the song 'Ferto'. Initially, Greece saw strong support in the betting odds following the announcement of the local winner. However, recent developments and the release of competing entries from other countries have led to a decline in Greece's standing in the rankings. The artist has publicly addressed the shifting odds in recent statements. Akylas noted that the current betting performance does not necessarily reflect the final outcome of the competition. He emphasized that he and his creative team have not yet unveiled their finalized plans for the Eurovision stage performance. The team remains focused on their preparations as the contest approaches.
