Background

Location and date

On 17 March 2024, the organizer of the Mister World pageant, announced on their official social that the 11th edition of the contest was scheduled to be held in Vietnam in September 2024. This will be the first time for Vietnam to host the contest and the fourth time an Asian country has hosted the contest, after China in 2007, South Korea in 2010 and the Philippines in 2019. The memorandum of understanding signing ceremony between the Miss World organization and the local organizer Sen Vàng Entertainment, which also organizes the Mister World Vietnam competition, took place during the press conference of the inaugural edition of Mister World Vietnam contest at Vertical Garden Rex Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City on 22 June 2024. Attending this event were Mister World 2019 Jack Heslewood and Miss World 2023 Krystyna Pyszková.

The contest was originally scheduled to take place between September 12–28, but rescheduled to September 17 to October 5, and once again to November 5-23, due to the passing of Vietnam’s former president, Nguyễn Phú Trọng. The contestants will be going through many locations such as Phan Thiet City, Vung Tau City, and Nam Cat Tien National Park. This year, the contest will include several activities including pre-final challenge events, body art photo shoot session, and election of "Nam Cat Tien Green Environment Ambassador".

Selection of participants

This edition will feature the debuts of Guinea, Laos and Pakistan.

Out of a total of 60 contestants, 13 contestants are replacement representatives for the previously officially announced participants such as representatives from countries: Cambodia, Brazil, and India. Before the competition, twelve contestants withdrew from the competition: Cameroon, Chile, Costa Rica, Equatorial Guinea, Estonia, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, New Zealand, Nigeria, Panama and Uganda. Nine countries returned from a hiatus, including Botswana, which last competed in 1996, Jamaica in 1998, Albania in 2007, Ethiopia in 2010, Vietnam in 2012, Belgium and Turkey in 2014 and Bolivia and France in 2016.
