Hello Codeforces,
Earlier this month, the ACPC (African and Arab Collegiate Programming Championship) concluded, determining the teams qualified for the ICPC World Finals from our region.
I decided to write a blog post to gather the full team list somewhere (yes, I know this is very early and most championships are still in March, but I'm so excited anyway, and I already had the script for the ACPC list, so why not!)
To add your team to the list, please comment these details:
- Your region
- Your country
- Your university
- Your team name
- Team members' handles
Wish everyone the best of luck in preparing for the ICPC, and can't wait to meet you all!

Orz team
Could Iranian teams potentially be disqualified for not being able to attend the AWC, as per the ICPC AWC rules?
wanting them to get disqualified on a technicality, just so that you can qualify is fucking insane
for context, this guy's rank at AWC is 16 and as of now, the cutoff for qualifying seems to be rank 14
1) I do want to qualify. WF has been a dream of mine. 2) I dont want to qualify on the basis of someone else not qualifying. That is just wrong especially when the teams are just too good and the geopolitical conflicts are outside their control.
I swear whenever I see this DNR guy comment it’s just controversies and hate. Could you please just stop assuming everything. (Btw i even asked chatgpt to make the question more polite and it still offends people smh) I want to know what has happened previously in such scenarios. I can only find 2 such scenarios which happened previously where they were given either rule exemption in which a slot is taken from the regional and the other where they are given a wildcard where a slot is not taken.
True, everywhere he(DNR) comments, it's all trash, hatred and immature.
During AWC it was clearly mentioned they can't participate due to ongoing geopolitical issues and I assume that implies they are also exempt from having to participate.
Hello,
First of all, I would like to mention that the current situation in our country is very difficult in many ways, especially with the internet. Seeing a comment like this as the first thing after finally managing to get online for a short time was honestly very disappointing for me. I wish this kind of discussion had not happened here.
Anyway, based on what I know (and this is just my understanding, not fully confirmed, because we have not been able to follow this properly), the Tehran site has had a direct World Finals slot in recent years, including this year. Our team is using that slot.
Other Iranian teams usually compete in the West Asia Super Regional (I may not have the exact name right), where teams can qualify for the World Finals based on the contest rules. Unfortunately, this year we were not able to participate there. I do not have clear information about what will happen to those teams.
Also, in previous years, the top team from the Tehran site also participated in the West Asia Super Regional and usually ranked first. However, their participation there was not officially for qualification, and they still used the Tehran site’s slot to qualify for the World Finals.
Again, I want to emphasize that I do not have any official or confirmed information, because the situation has been very difficult and we have had more serious issues to deal with. It has not really been possible to follow this topic closely. However, if we receive any official updates, I will share them here.

Hi! From what I understand, only the champion of the region gets automatically qualified to WF and the remaining slots are decided in AWC.
Can you send the standings/source of information that proves otherwise?
Only Buet confirmed for upcoming 50th ICPC World Finals not University of Dhaka Here is the standing of 2025 icpc dhaka regional https://bapsoj.org/contests/icpc-dhaka-onsite-2025/standings
Top 2 teams from each of these regionals automatically qualify for WF
For the first team from CERC, Big as Hectic Dreaming from ELTE, Hungary, its members are peti1234, Peti and ZsibbadtKubikus.
Update: ICPC WF 2026 will be held in Dubai from November 15 to November 20! Super late but I'm excited!
there is almost a year between the ACPC and the ICPC
You can also connect your icpc.global account to your codeforces account in your profile -> social media and help us to collect this data automatically!
If that happens, you're gonna release the list yourself?

Potentially some additional teams will be advanced when Asia Pacific gets more team windows, but we can say these 5 teams from Japan will be safely advanced to the WF.
The organizer said AP has about 18 windows, and if we take the comment literally, the top of each universities which have result of team "Uniformly Random Name" or above will be advanced.

How is team rating being calculated ?
Roughly speaking, a team with ratings $$$x_1, ..., x_n$$$ has a team rating of $$$x$$$ if a person of rating $$$x$$$ has a 50% chance of beating people of ratings $$$x_i$$$ in all of $$$n$$$ consecutive duels.
More formally, it's the solution to the equation $$$\Pi_i \frac{1}{1+10^{(x_i-x)/400}} = 0.5$$$. Since the left hand side is a strictly increasing continuous function from $$$0$$$ to $$$1$$$, this has a unique solution.
There are bots that compute this value; for example, TLE bot has such a feature.

Hi, how do I find out their team names? Also, I couldn't find the handles for 3 of them.
The team names are listed on https://nac.icpc.global/ (scroll down to "2026 teams")
Also there is a slight mistake for the UofT handles. Instead of Drew_ participating we have Wobert participating instead.
I do not know the handles of the remaining 3 teams. I will link this blog to the NAC discord incase they want to add their handles.
Thanks! Updated
There is still the mistake with UofT handles. Instead of Drew_ it should be Wobert. The former could not participate in ICPC this year so the latter took his place.
Oh my bad, I forgot that after fixing the team names. Will update now.
