⚠️ ICL Update: We can confirm that the 𝐈𝐂𝐋 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔.

Since 2017, ICL has been held in Madrid at our usual venue, but at this time there are still no confirmed available dates there for the period we need. Because ICL requires significant planning and lead time, we cannot wait for a last-minute confirmation and still deliver the event to the standard you expect. For that reason, 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐂𝐋 𝐭𝐨 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟕.

Contestants and local organizers who have already been selected and confirmed have been informed. However, they were asked not to share any information publicly until this official statement was published.

𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟕 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟕. Selections will continue, and we will soon publish updated selection dates and start announcing the contestants already selected.

All official details, explanations, and updates are in the full statement on the ICL website. 👉 https://icl.japanweekend.com/update/
