Background

Selection of participants

Contestants from nine countries and territories have been selected to compete in the competition. Five were the winners of their countries' national pageants, while four were appointed to their position after being a runner-up of their national pageant or after being selected through a casting process.

María Fernanda Aristizábal was appointed by Natalie Ackermann, the national director of Miss Universe Colombia Organization. She was crowned Miss Colombia 2019 and had planned to compete in Miss Universe 2020, but couldn't compete because the Miss Colombia Organization had lost the franchise for Miss Universe.

The 2022 edition will see the return of Angola, Barbados, Belize, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, Saint Lucia, Seychelles and Switzerland; Seychelles last competed in 1995; making it the first time the country has competed after 27 years of absence. Switzerland last competed in 2018, Angola, Mongolia and Saint Lucia last competed in 2019, meanwhile the others last competed in 2020.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
