Do you know where will the ICPC world finals 2026 be held?
Was it announced officially anywhere? I've heard from some people who were at the last world finals that the organizers didn't announce where next year's WF is going to be or mention anything about it.
Earlier this year I've heard rumors that the 2025's WF might be held in China, and later on I've heard some people saying that it'll be held in Brazil, but the latest place I've heard is Mexico.
It was orinally planned in Shanghai University, China. But Shanghai University can't hold WF next year.
Why?
Is it still going to be in China?
who's gonna host than ?
At one point the plan for the next four WF after kazakhstan was {shanghai, armenia, canada, mexico} in some order. However, given that last WF was in azerbaijan, which isn't in this set, I'm not sure how much we can rely on it.
Obviously the most logical choice is india
You got extremely downvoted for the making this exact comment last year
yes, i remember
It might be held on Codeforces!! :-)
I made a question in Metaculus about that https://www.metaculus.com/questions/36271/will-the-2026-icpc-world-finals-be-held-in-china/
Probably not Brazil, and the speculation of Mexico comes from the fact that a university there has already publicly offered itself to host it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDrtfb4bYKk
Press Conference
I have a feeling it will be in Rio, Brazil
It's Dubai.
The ICPC has announced that the 2026 ICPC World Finals will be hosted in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from November 15 to 20.
ICPC is becoming unpredictable day by day.
