EA Sports announced that they have started “the process to remove the Russian national team and all Russian clubs” from FIFA 22. Evidently, this due to the continuous invasion of Ukraine by Russiaand EA Sports has stated that they “stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people.”
FIFA and UEFA, the two main bodies responsible for professional football in Europe and other parts of the world, confirmed that they will be suspending all Russian teams from participating in any type of tournament, and EA Sports intends to continue with this same line but in FIFA 22.

At the time of writing, details about the removal of Russian teams from FIFA 22 are not entirely clear. We assume that clubs will simply disappear from the game, and possibly be replaced by other nations in offline modes that include European tournaments, such as the Champions League.
