超过2300名来自近80个国家的数学家签署请愿书，要求将2026年国际数学家大会从美国费城移出。他们引用签证障碍、安全担忧以及美国政策损害全球科学包容性为由。组织者呼吁中国数学家支持抵制。
一项由2300多名数学家签署的请愿书呼吁将2026年国际数学家大会（International Congress of Mathematicians，简称ICM）从美国费城移出。该大会被誉为“数学世界杯”，请愿者来自近80个国家，包括古巴、伊朗、日本、法国和中国。
请愿书指出，美国对外国学者的签证障碍、安全担忧以及相关政策破坏了全球科学的包容性。签名人数已超过该大会的官方注册参与者数量。联合组织者Ila Varma表示，中国数学家的抵制可能具有决定性作用。
Varma说：“任何理解真正全球数学社区价值的中国的数学家都应该支持抵制，并说服他们的数学学会这样做。”她强调，中国数学家在全球数学界的影响力巨大。关键词中提到的其他数学家包括Christoph Sorger、Hiraku Nakajima、Hanfu Gong。

As the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaches, the United States and Mexico face significant hurdles in attracting international tourists due to visa delays, geopolitical tensions, and security concerns. While initial projections promised a $30 billion economic boost, recent data shows declining inbound travel and scaled-back events. Mexican authorities are deploying extensive security measures to reassure visitors for the co-hosted tournament.
Complementing global countdown celebrations, FIFA hosted a three-day workshop in Atlanta focusing on technology, logistics, and fan experiences for the 2026 World Cup. Highlights included auto-offside tech, 3D scans, and referee bodycams, alongside discussions on Iran's participation amid U.S.-Iran tensions. Representatives from 40 qualifying teams toured Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

One week after US and Israeli strikes on Iran killed at least 1,045 people—including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei—and spread conflict to 12 countries, Iran's football federation has voiced serious doubts about participating in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, citing travel barriers to the US. FIFA continues monitoring amid boycott speculation.
A government shutdown at the Department of Homeland Security is delaying $625 million in FEMA security grants for 2026 FIFA World Cup host cities, raising concerns about planning and safety. Officials in cities like Miami, Kansas City, and Dallas report potential impacts, though local preparations continue. The issue was highlighted during a Congressional hearing on Tuesday.

In the latest development amid Middle East conflict disruptions first reported earlier this week, Iraq has formally asked FIFA to postpone its March 31 intercontinental World Cup playoff in Monterrey, Mexico, rejecting a hazardous 25-hour road journey proposed by the governing body. With airspace closed until at least April 1, much of the squad remains stranded in Baghdad, prompting coach Graham Arnold to push for a delay to assemble a full team for a potential first World Cup appearance in 40 years.
