Like many other brands and companies, Electronic Arts has also decided to show solidarity with the situation that is currently being experienced in Ukraineand to do so, they will be prohibiting any Russian professional team or player from FIFA 22 or Apex Legends can participate in official competitions and tournaments.
via social media, EA released a statement that reads as follows:
“We have made the decision to remove Russia and Belarus as eligible countries in our esports programs. Effective immediately, players and teams in Russia and Belarus are no longer eligible to participate in the Apex Legends Global Series and the EA SPORTS FIFA 22 Global Series.
We continue to be shocked by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and join the many voices around the world calling for peace and an end to the invasion. We stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine.”

for now, EA did not mention when they plan to suspend the suspension, but it will surely be until the conflict between Russia and Ukraine come to an end.
