Today the West is being devastated by one of the biggest conflicts in recent years, since, if we have not had enough with natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic, many of you will already know that Russia is in full invasion in Ukraine.
Leaving aside any type of political comment, the reality is that this act carried out by the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, is being highly criticized by the international community, to such an extent that economic sanctions keep coming for the northern giant by the large international organizations.
However, not only are politicians and economists punishing Russia for what is happening in Ukraine, but several private companies have joined to the reproachability of this invasion, thus giving rise to the fact that today we have been able to know that Apple is leaving Russia, as well as that FIFA has expelled this country from the World Cup in Qatar. And speaking of soccer, it seems that FIFA titles could also join this movement.
Tom Henderson talks about the expulsion of Russia in Electronic Arts sports games
Recently the insider Tom Henderson has talked about the measures that Electronic Arts is going to take with what is happening with Ukraine and Russia, being something quite curious as it is a private video game company. Be that as it may, according to this same insider, who claims to have had access to internal EA emailsthe company would be warning its employees that Russia will be eliminated from FIFA and NFL games.
It should be noted that it has not been clarified if it is an elimination in future titles of the sagas or if the way to do it will be to eliminate them through an update. Similarly, it does not clarify whether the content to be removed will be the Russian national teams and/or the Russian league teams. You can see the tweet below:
In a new company email, EA has said it will be removing Russia from the likes of FIFA and NHL games due to the invasion of Ukraine.

We will have to take this information with a grain of salt, since, at the time of writing this news, nothing has been confirmed by Electronic Arts, so who knows if it will end up being fulfilled or not. For the rest, the only thing we can hope for is that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine ends as soon as possible and in the best possible way, since the world is aware of the political and economic consequences that the conflict could bring about if the severity continues to escalate. .
