battlefield 1 change region

I recently got battlefield 1 and i'm a big fan so far!

however i live in South-Africa and the official-matchmaking has no players at all and im stuck being the only player in the matches.

i tried changing my region on the EA app since i saw it on some videos but the option was not there! and 90% of the servers in the server-browser that i saw had like 1 person playing.

so if there is any way i can change my region pls let me know!
