Negotiations between the Secretary of Tourism of Ceará in Brazil and the Miss Universe Organization began in late September 2013, when the Miss Universe Organization directors flew to Fortaleza to begin conversations and arrangement of pageant activities. Bismarck Maia, State Secretary of Tourism, disclosed the latest development to Fortaleza's market-leading newspaper, Diário do Nordeste, on 11 January 2014, announcing that the event will be at Centro de Eventos do Ceará, in Ceará's capital.
