Video game developer EA Sports is to remove the Russian national team and all Russian clubs from Fifa 22.

It follows the suspension of all Russian national teams and clubs from all competitions by Fifa and Uefa after the country's invasion of Ukraine.

EA Sports said it "stands in solidarity with the Ukrainian people" and "calls for peace and an end to the invasion".

"We're also actively evaluating related changes to other areas of our games," a statement added.

"We will keep our communities up to date on any actions taken, and thank players for their patience as we work through these updates."

It is the second time since the release of Fifa 22 that an original feature of the game has been removed, after Mason Greenwood was also axed following his arrest earlier this year.

The Manchester United forward was removed from active squads and suspended from appearing in Fifa Ultimate Team packs and Ultimate Draft.

It's being childish.. those players didn't consent in the war...I always love playing against Russia in my pro lig tournament.. the tough

Sanctions frm left to right,Mr Putin it's best u stop dis war now before u regret it

These cowards will do anything except to actually go to Russia and fight. How they wish they can remove Russia from the map of the world!

Putin isn't bulging in any of these sanctions, the people suffering it are the common Russian citizens.

This is getting too much.i tot football shud serve as a means of unifying people.why are they punishing innocent Russians?

Wonderful

These sanctions are gradually going to make or Force Russia to become a self sustaining nation.

It's absolutely achievable

some of these sanctions are not needed

all these sanctions are nothing to putin, the cowards can go to Ukraine and join the Ukrainian forces.
