Moroccanoil, a cosmetics brand founded in Israel, has announced that it will withdraw as the main sponsor of the Eurovision Song Contest. This news was confirmed by the EBU, the organizing body behind the festival.

The Israeli company had been the main sponsor of the event since 2019. During this period, there has been criticism regarding Israel's participation in the festival as well as the sponsorship deal with Moroccanoil.

After six years, Moroccanoil is ending its collaboration with the Eurovision Song Contest, which may be related to the criticisms that have arisen in recent years.
