Belgium

Belgium debuted in 1956, won in 1986. Notable for Sandra Kim's historic win, Urban Trad's 2003 second place. Mixed fortunes in 2000s. Success since 2010 with top-tens, Gustaph's 2023 seventh place. Two broadcasters, VRT and RTBF, alternate selections, causing disparities in results. VRT responsible for recent top-tens. RTBF clinched Belgium's only win in 1986. Relegated in the 1990s due to poor placements. Introduced semi-finals in 2004; both broadcasters have similar qualification success.
