Problem to play "Clubs"

I'm having a issue. I live in London (UK), but I'm Brazilian. When I play by myself (on the UK server), I can play any game mode without any problems. However, when I try to play Clubs with my Brazilian friend (we've ALWAYS played together), I can't.

If I leave the lobby and he plays with another Brazilian friend, it works fine.

Another detail is that our club's server is set to US East 1. If I'm in the lobby when we try to start a match, nobody can get into the game. But as soon as I leave the lobby, they can all play.

The issue seems to be related to the UK. It looks like players in the UK can only play with and against other players in the UK.

Please fix this as soon as possible, EA!!!!
