## Background

### Selection of participants

Contestants from fifty countries and territories were selected to compete in the pageant. Two candidates were appointed to represent their countries after being a runner-up at their respective national pageants, while one candidate was appointed to represent her country to replace the original dethroned winner.[2]

#### Replacements

Maureen Thomas, first runner-up of Miss Wales 1963, was appointed to represent Wales because Miss Wales 1963 Pat Finch was not "Welsh enough" according to pageant organizers.[2] Miss Turkey 1963, Gülseren Esen Kocaman, did not participate for unknown reasons, she was replaced by Miss Turkey 1961, Güler Samuray.[3]

#### Debuts, returns, and withdrawals

This edition saw the debuts of The Bahamas, Curaçao, Okinawa, and Trinidad and Tobago, and the returns of Nicaragua, which last competed in [1955](/source/Miss_Universe_1955); the British Guiana in [1958](/source/Miss_Universe_1958); Suriname in [1960](/source/Miss_Universe_1960); and Denmark and Suriname last competed in [1961](/source/Miss_Universe_1961).

Francine Marcos of Dahomey withdrew after arriving late to the competition.[4] Susan Pratt of England on the other hand, withdrew after being involved in a car accident which left her with a broken leg.[5][6]

Nik Azizah Yahya of Malaya withdrew after not reaching the minimum age requirement.[7] Yen-Ping Cheung of Hong Kong, Mona Slim of Lebanon, Maria Penedo of Portugal, and Noela Bernardino of Tahiti withdrew for undisclosed reasons. Haiti, the Republic of China, Singapore, and the United States Virgin Islands withdrew after their respective organizations failed to hold a national competition or appoint a delegate.

[Beatriz Martínez](/source/Ana_Mart%C3%ADn) of Mexico was supposed to compete but withdrew after not reaching the minimum age requirement.[8] Enid Marugg of Aruba, Hazel Eastmond of Barbados, Yun-Hiu Ying of Macau, Ana Cecilia Maruri of Panama, and Ruby Thelma Bacot of the Panama Canal Zone were all set to compete, but withdrew for undisclosed reasons.[9][10]
