Recently, LELÉKA stated that the team has not yet managed to find sponsors for Eurovision 2026. After that, the singer's representatives shared the details of the preparations for the song contest.
The LELÉKA team clarified the situation with preparations for Eurovision 2026 in a comment to NV.
The LELÉKA team said that she gave a commentary on the program “Alone with Glamour” back on March 14, and the episode was released on March 24. Some time has already passed, so the situation has changed.
Preparation is carried out in a standard manner: partly at the expense of the Public, partly with the involvement of Ukrainian businesses and brands, partly with the help of patrons,
– noted LELÉKA representatives.
Recall that during a conversation with a TSN journalist, LELÉKA stated that there are currently no expenses for preparing for Eurovision 2026, as the team has not yet found the funds.
We are going to start looking for sponsors in the near future, for some kind of involvement, because the amounts are huge. Everything at Eurovision costs a lot. I couldn't imagine that it would be such amounts and that we would have to find them ourselves,
– the singer admitted.
