EA Sports Removes the Russian National Team and Teams from FIFA.

EA Sports, a division of Electronic Arts that develops and publishes sports video games, has announced on their official Twitter account that they will be removing the Russian national team and clubs from their FIFA game series, including FIFA 22, FIFA Mobile, and FIFA Online. This decision is in solidarity with the Ukrainian people and echoes calls from many voices in the football world for peace and an end to the invasion of Ukraine.

EA Sports is also actively examining related changes for other parts of their games. The move to remove Russian teams from FIFA games is part of a broader response by the gaming industry to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Many gaming companies have taken steps to distance themselves from Russia in response to the situation.
