EA Sports announced the update for FC 24 Coins 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.
The move from EA Sports will come as no surprise to fans as FC 24 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 FC 24 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.
Updated CONMEBOL competitions. Updated CONMEBOL Libertadores seeding in Career Mode and Tournaments. Updated CONMEBOL Libertadores and Sudamericana competition structure for Career Mode. Added clubs who qualified for the 2022 CONMEBOL Libertadores and Sudamericana group stages where appropriate and updated rosters for existing clubs. These will only be available following a server update. Please follow EA buy FIFA 24 Coins Direct for updates on when this will be live in-game. Updated some player portraits, kits, badges, ad boards, trophies, flags, logos, banners, broadcast and presentation packages, and interview backdrops.
