Request to lift Regional ban on syrian players following sanctions removal

As of recent international decisions, the sanctions and restrictive measures previously imposed on the Syrian Arab Republic have been officially lifted.

Accordingly, I kindly request that EA review and update its regional restrictions to allow Syrian users full access to EA services, including account creation, online gameplay, and purchases.

Currently, many Syrian players are still unable to access EA platforms or use their accounts due to the old sanction-related blocks.

Since these measures are no longer legally applicable, I respectfully ask that EA remove the regional ban and restore service availability for users in Syria.

This change would reflect EA’s commitment to fairness, inclusivity, and compliance with current international regulations.

Thank you for your understanding and consideration.
Best regards,
[vedria]

    Please be aware that you have a large audience that you have been neglecting.

    We don't want the same response every time: that you must lift the embargo. President Donald Trump lifted the sanctions on Syria, and you haven't.

    Hey vedria​ there is nothing more that we here can do. 

    When and if the embargo is lifted fully on the EA side then the list of sanctioned states will be updated on the EA site.

    Till then, if a state or country is listed there then the sanctions remain.
