EA Sports will remove all Russian clubs and the national team from FIFA 22

As Russia continues its invasion of neighbouring country Ukraine, EA has announced that Russian teams will soon be removed from FIFA 22, FIFA Mobile, FIFA Online, and NHL 22 following suit to organising bodies represented in its games, FIFA, UEFA, and IIHF.

The country’s invasion of Ukraine last week has flared anger and rage across the world, with many football clubs, players and associations speaking out in support of the victims.

The video game producer is now the latest to call for peace as the conflict rages on and has made the decision to remove Russia’s teams from all of their products.

“We’re also actively evaluating related changes to other areas of our games.

“We will keep our communities up to date on any actions taken, and thank players for their patience as we work through these updates.”
