Miss Universe 2024 Grand Finale to be held at the CDMX Arena
More than 120 candidates will participate in this event, which represents a historic record for the pageant.
On November 16, the Mexico City Arena will be the stage for the Miss Universe 2024 Grand Finale. This event will feature the participation of more than 120 candidates, which represents a historic record for the pageant.
According to Raúl Rocha Cantú, president of the organization, this will be one of the largest stages in the history of the contest.
During a press conference, Nicaraguan Sheynnis Palacios, current Miss Universe, expressed her enthusiasm for the event to take place in Mexico.
“I am happy that the event is taking place in Mexico and that so many countries are coming to compete for the crown,” she said.
One of the main novelties of the pageant is the change in its format, with the aim of making it more inclusive and providing greater projection to the participants.
The new selection process will feature 30 semi-finalists, of which 25 will be chosen by the jury and five through other means, such as the public vote and preliminary competitions of traditional costumes and swimsuits.
On which media will the Miss Universe 2024 final be broadcast?
The event will also include a series of cultural activities, such as a Catrinas parade at the Convento de las Vizcaínas and traditional Mexican festivals, which will showcase the best of the country’s culture. In addition, Emilio Estefan will be in charge of creating the official song for Miss Universe 2024.
The final will be broadcast to millions of people around the world through Telemundo, TV Azteca, and Roku, depending on the region.
Some 20,000 people are expected to attend the event at the CDMX Arena, with tickets available in Super Boletos from 900 to 50,000 pesos.
Rocha Cantú also confirmed that the pageant will maintain its commitment to inclusion, despite the recent controversy over the departure of Martha Cristiana and Cynthia De la Vega, who were to direct the national pageant.
