Eurovision has confirmed the launch of another global spinoff, this time covering the Latin America region.
Earlier this year the inaugural edition of The American Song Contest took place, featuring all 50 states, DC and several territories, and in early 2023 Eurovision Song Contest Canada will be launched.
Eurovision Song Contest Latin America will feature countries from the region including Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Chile competing against each other in a grand international finale, similar to the original contest.
Martin Osterdahl, Eurovision's executive supervisor, said: "Following on from the launch of the American Song Contest, and with plans underway for Eurovision Song Contest Canada next year, the European Broadcasting Union is thrilled to be now working with Voxovation on bringing the excitement and magic of the Eurovision Song Contest to Latin America.
"The unique Eurovision format finds new fans across the globe every year and we can't wait to expand the brand in this hugely diverse part of the world."
Further details about the countries taking part, as well as the inaugural host city, will be revealed in the coming months.
