The Worldvision Song Contest Quarter 4 - 2024 was the 9th edition of the Worldvision Song Contest. It is set to take place in Tel Aviv, Israel, following the country's victory at the WorldVision Song Contest Q3-2024 contest with the song "Ruin Me" by Elevator Boys. Organised by the International Eurofan's Countries Organisation (IECO) and host broadcaster Kan. The contest was held TBA arena, and consisted of a semi-finals on 23 February 2025, and a final on XX Winter 2025.

Thirty-six countries will participate in the contest, with Bosnia and Herzegovina and Cuba participating for the first time. It was announced that Belgium, Ireland and Russia would not be taking part due to various reasons. While Russian membership was kept active, the Irish membership were frozen on-request, which makes it unlikely to see the country returning in the nearest future. Belgium however was suspended for this episode due to the breach of the rules.

It was the first time that Sweden, Iceland and Cuba (the debuting country) failed to make it to the final.

Location

After the victory in the previous edition in Hanoi, Vietnam at the 8th edition, Israel has received the rights to host the contest. Due to the hosting of Special Melody Q4-2024 in Haifa, the organization boarding committee and the Broadcaster had less venues to accept for the hosting. Bidding process was very quick and almost instant. On January 28, the competition organizers announced that Tel Aviv would host the competition in Israel.
