If like me you are an avid fan of the EA sport games - FIFA, then you would have noticed the glaring absence of Nigeria's clubs and especially our National team since FIFA 2008.
Specifics as far as what teams are included in the upcoming game FIFA 22 have not been announced to my knowledge. As you can see, not all leagues, teams, players, etc are in the current or past games. For EA putting them in the game, EA needs to negotiate with and pay the individuals who own the licenses for those teams. If teams have not proven to be desired by a large part of the gaming community, EA may not attempt to acquire the licenses.The EA Sports franchise FIFA 21 has since been released, and while gamers will be able to play as all of the world’s biggest clubs, they won’t be able to take control of Nigeria’s Super Eagles.

Nigeria is just one of the many African nations who have been neglected in the game, as while FIFA offers fans the prospect of playing with a range of international teams, CAF only received a little representation.

Countries that are available on the game among African teams includes the likes of Egypt, Cameron, Cote d’Ivoire and South Africa all playable on the game.
The most annoying part of the whole neglect is that none of the six top-ranked African teams in the FIFA World Rankings have been included in the video game, this is a list that includes:
Senegal (1st in Africa and in world 20th)

Tunisia (2nd in Africa 26th in the world)

Nigeria (29th in the world and 3rd in Africa)

Algeria (35th in the world and 4th in Africa)

Morocco (43rd in the world and 5th in Africa) and

Ghana (46th in the world and 6th in Africa).

Why can FIFA not see the value of including the Super Eagles in the latest edition of the franchise, and ensure that Nigerian gamers around the world can play with their heroes in the West African giants’ famous green?

PS. I since made a complaint on their EA online forum and their answer is pictured below. They have not replied the question.
