Ouch! EA games will be the same without the Russians. But hey, we need to support Ukraine and stop the aggressors. I feel sorry for the Russian people though đ
Taken from Engadget ⌠EA says itâs removing the Russian national team and clubs from FIFA 22, FIFA Mobile and FIFA Online. The move follows FIFA kicking Russia out of World Cup 2022 qualifying and UEFA suspending club teams from international competitions.

âEA Sports stands in solidarity with the Ukrainian people and, like so many voices across the world of football, calls for peace and an end to the invasion of Ukraine,â a statement shared on Twitter reads. The publisher said it was âactively evaluating related changes to other areas of our gamesâ and that it would keep players informed about actions it takes.
In addition, EA will drop Russian and Belarusian national and club teams from NHL 22 in the coming weeks. The International Ice Hockey Federation banned teams from both countries from its competitions until further notice.
