Request for an EA SPORTS FC Data Center in Pakistan

Hello EA SPORTS FC Team,

I would like to request that EA consider adding an EA SPORTS FC data center in Pakistan.

Players in Pakistan and neighboring countries such as Afghanistan can experience high or inconsistent latency when playing Ultimate Team because they have to connect to data centers located farther away and because international routing is not always efficient.

For example, players in this region can experience:

• High or inconsistent ping depending on ISP routing
• Large differences in latency between different internet providers
• Connection instability during busy hours
• Longer network routes to existing Middle Eastern and Asian data centers
• Good ping on some routes but unreliable connections to EA services

A data center in Pakistan could potentially improve connectivity for a significant number of players across the region, particularly if local and neighboring ISPs can establish good peering and routing to it.

Pakistan also has a large population and gaming community, so a data center there could potentially benefit players beyond Pakistan itself, including parts of Afghanistan and the surrounding region.

I understand that opening a new data center depends on many factors, including player population, infrastructure, suitable hosting partners, network connectivity, cost, and long-term demand.

I therefore ask EA to evaluate Pakistan as a potential future EA SPORTS FC data-center location.

It would also be helpful if other players from Pakistan and Afghanistan could share their:

City — ISP — Platform — Average FC 27 Ping — Packet Loss — Connection Issues

This would give EA more real-world information about connectivity in the region.

Thank you for considering this request and for listening to feedback from the South and Central Asian FC community.
