EA Sports Releases Title Update 9 for FIFA 22
With the conflict in Ukraine still ongoing EA Sports has made the decision to remove the Russian national team and the Russian club teams from FIFA 22. Update 1.22 which will apply Title Update 9 will also make changes to FIFA Ultimate Team, Career Mode, standard gameplay, and more.
EA Sports announced the update for FIFA 22 on April 13 via the official EA Sports forum and the in-game menus on PC and went live on consoles on April 14. The update removes all Russian teams and stadiums from the game echoing the real-world actions of football's governing bodies FIFA and UEFA in excluding Russian teams from competing in all European and International soccer tournaments.
FIFA 22 Reveals New Gameplay Updates and Details
The move from EA Sports will come as no surprise to fans as FIFA 22 receives constant updates to echo real-world events in international and domestic soccer. With FIFA and UEFA making the decision to ban Russian teams back in February it was inevitable that the biggest sporting game franchise would follow suit.
The Russian Football Union (RFU) had appealed the FIFA and UEFA bans on its soccer teams but the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has upheld the ban. It could be possible for Russian teams to be restored in FIFA 22 at a later date, but this will be dependent on the outcome of the continuing real-world conflict and the soccer governing bodies' decisions. EA has also pulled all its titles from sale in Russia and Belarus. Here are the full notes for update 1.22 and Title Update 9.
