Re: Server region changed automatically from Middle East to Eastern Europe - FC 26

Hello EA Help Team,

I would like to report a possible issue with the Middle East servers for EA Sports FC.

Recently, many players in the Middle East region are experiencing higher ping and unstable connections during online matches. Normally, the ping is around 20–40 ms, but recently it has increased significantly and gameplay feels delayed.

There have also been regional events affecting network infrastructure in countries like the UAE and Bahrain, and we are not sure if this is impacting the EA servers or routing to them.

Could you please check the status of the Middle East servers and confirm if there are any ongoing issues or routing problems affecting players in this region?

Location: Oman

Platform: PC (Steam)

Thank you for your support.
