Namibia’s Chantel Boeren Claims Miss Teen International 2026 First Runner-Up Spot in India

Chantel Boeren has delivered a remarkable result for Namibia at the Miss Teen International 2026 grand finale, finishing as the first runner-up in Jaipur, India.
Boeren’s impressive campaign also saw her take home the Best Top Model title, an award she secured after competing against 30 contestants from different parts of the world.
The Namibian representative eventually found herself among the final Top 2, putting her within reach of the international crown before she was announced as first runner-up.

The 2026 crown went to Jhoanna Uranga of Cuba, who was named Miss Teen International at the conclusion of the grand finale.
Boeren’s achievement is also significant for Namibia, as her first-runner-up finish becomes the country’s highest placement at Miss Teen International since 2024.

With both a Top 2 finish and the Best Top Model title to her name, Boeren leaves the competition having delivered one of Namibia’s strongest performances at the international pageant in recent years.
