Many FIFA players complained Pro Clubs drop-in matches are so bugged that the game is literally unplayable. The game sometimes gets stuck on the Searching for match screen and players are unable to back out.
The only option you have left is to restart the game.
But the problem is that Pro Clubs get stuck again on the same screen even after restarting the game. Let’s explore how you can fix this problem.
What should I do if FIFA got stuck on the “Searching for Match” screen?
Update the game
Make sure to update FIFA to the latest version. If this problem is caused by some faulty code sequences, chances are EA has already patched the problem in the latest FIFA update.
So, check for updates, install the latest FIFA updates, restart your computer or console and check the results.

Change your boots
Try changing your boots and check if the game is still stuck on the “Searching for match” screen. As strange as this workaround might seem, some people confirmed it worked for them.
It doesn’t really matter what boots you select. The important thing is to swap them before every queue.
Don’t forget to correct your position.
Sometimes, changing your boots will also change your position.
Was having a nightmare getting a game for the last few hours. Changed my boots. Bam. Game on. Worth a shot. Be interesting to see if it actually works or was just coincidence for me.
Disconnect from the Internet
If you’re playing FIFA on a PlayStation console, disconnect and re-connect your Internet connection to fix the Pro Clubs drop-in match issue. Don’t just close the app completely.
Navigate to Settings, select Network, and untick/tick the checkbox that reads Connect to Internet.
Disconnecting from the Internet will force the game to spit you back out into the main menu. Go back online and check the results.
Contact EA Support
If the problem persists, contact EA Support. Describe the issue that you’re experiencing in detail and let them know what you’ve tried so far in terms of troubleshooting steps.
Hopefully, EA’s support agents will be able to suggest additional solutions.
This is a well-known issue affecting many players across all platforms. Unfortunately, EA has yet to acknowledge the problem.
