Background

Selection of participants

Contestants from 38 countries and territories were selected either as winners from their national pageants, or appointed to their positions after being runner-up in their national pageant between 2019 and 2023 or being chosen through a casting process.

This edition debuted from Guinea Bissau, North Cyprus and Trinidad and Tobago, while Canada (2016), Colombia (2017), Lebanon (2018), Nigeria (2011), The Bahamas (2014) and Vietnam (2018) made their return. Albania, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Kazakhstan, Nicaragua, Panama and Sierra Leone participated in the previous edition but not this edition. Mali's Harouna Sissoko[3] and Netherlands's Ilyas Chaouki[4] were expected to compete but later withdrew, bringing the total participating countries to 36. Haiti did not take part in the Swimwear Competition held on September 10.

For the first time in 16 years, the Mister International Organization will allow fathers, married, and divorced men to compete.[5]
