Yle, the Finnish national broadcaster, have made a disqualification ahead of UMK 2025 – their national selection for the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest, in Basel.

Yle has disqualified from UMK 2025 and the Contest will continue with the remaining six acts. One Morning Left were disqualified after not complying with both the UMK and Eurovision Song Contest rules. Anssi Autio, UMK’s Executive Producer, had the following to say:

“Unfortunately, One Morning Left will not be seen in this year’s UMK, as the band has not fully complied with the competition’s rules. The decision also involved the rules of the Eurovision Song Contest, set by the EBU, which clearly state that such a rule violation is an unequivocal obstacle to Eurovision representation.”
