Eurovision Song Contest

In January 2020, it was announced by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) that Österdahl would replace Jon Ola Sand as the Executive Supervisor of the Eurovision Song Contest after the final of the 2020 contest taking place in Rotterdam in May 2020.[3] However, due to 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Europe that cancelled the Eurovision Song Contest of 2020, Österdahl became the new Executive Supervisor of the Contest effectively.

Österdahl had previously been the executive producer of the 2013 and 2016 contests (alongside Johan Bernhagen in 2016) in Malmö and Stockholm respectively and was a member of the Eurovision Song Contest Reference Group from 2012 to 2018.[4]
