For years, the Clubs community has endured EA's lack of interest in the mode, but that has never stopped it from growing.
Organized leagues, daily tournaments, and live events driven by a passionate community continued to inspire players to keep grinding the mode day after day.
We have never asked for much from EA. We simply ask for a game that works.
For more than a month, friendlies in Europe have been affected by severe ping issues. When teams include players from different regions connected to different servers, everyone is forced onto 100ms latency, making matches virtually unplayable.
EA is aware of the issue. We have provided detailed reports multiple times, including Gaming IDs, player locations, match timestamps, and other relevant information. Yet, the problem remains unresolved.
Why can't EA bring FC Pro tools to Clubs, allowing team captains to choose the server from which invitations are sent? What is preventing that? It would make organizing competitive matches significantly easier and fix the problem.
On top of that, Clubs would benefit from additional match settings, such as:
- Choosing the minute from which a match starts
- Enabling or disabling extra time and penalties
- Selecting one-leg or two-leg formats
- Other tournament-friendly customization options
It's time, @EASFCDirect , to listen to one of your most loyal communities.

Hi @EASFCDirect
Since the start of this EAFC the connection to the closest server has been broken in Clubs friendlies.
Portuguese teams could rarely connect to Madrid (Spain) server, even though the distance difference to any other server is more than 1.000km.
What Portuguese teams would do is to try to leave the match and resend the invite multiple times to try to have some luck and connect to it.
Bare in mind last EAFC Portuguese teams always played in Madrid server, averaging 10-20ms ping and never had issues.
More concerning issues started 3-4 weeks ago, when connecting to Madrid become impossible. The server seems offline at least for friendlies in Clubs or the routing is not being done properly.
All Portuguese teams started to connect to Paris server (France), averaging 35-40ms. This is still playable conditions but ping is already noticeable. And while playing competitively, Portuguese teams should not have to endure playing on "away" ping all matches.
Since Monday teams can't even connect to Paris server. We are not sure to which server teams are connecting but everyone is having 50-60ms ping.
Even if 2 Portuguese teams face each other the ping won't change.
We need this fix prioritized to be able to play the game properly.
