Mexicana Universal 2018 finale will be held on May 27, 2018, in Acapulco, Guerrero where 32 candidates will compete for the national title. Mexicana Universal 2017 Denisse Franco will crown her successor at the end of the event.

This will be the first edition of Mexicana Universal 2018 since before the contest was held under the name Nuestra Belleza. The winner of Mexicana Universal 2018 will represent her country in Miss Universe 2018.

But before the finale, let us take a look at the top contenders, in our opinion, for the first edition of Mexicana Universal in a series of features.

Karely Sandoval was crowned Mexicana Universal Zacatecas 2017 in February 2018. From Rio Grande, Karely comes from a family of pageant winners. Her sister Alejandra Sandoval was also the regional winner and drew a lot of attention as she declined her national participation at that time.

The 19-year-old diva studies nutrition at UAD Autonomous University of Durango Campus, Zacatecas. She also works as a professional model. Standing a whopping 181 cm tall, Karely is definitely one of the strongest contenders this year.
