Switzerland: Marius Bear selected for Eurovision 2022

Switzerland has internally selected Marius Bear to represent the country at Eurovision 2022 in Italy.

On the first day of March, Switzerland announced that on March 8, 2022, it will reveal its representative as well as the song that will represent the country at Eurovision 2022 in Turin.

So, today it was announced that Marius Bear was chosen to represent the country at Eurovision 2022 with the official music video of the song “Boys do cry” being released.
