Where's this new Middle East server then?

Question

'Coming start of next season' 'Obviously start of next season you idiot, it's been said a thousand times' etc etc. Yet here I am still playing against Mamood_Q8 and friends with their 150 ping on WEU. I don't care who has the advantage/disadvantage in whatever situation, I'd rather not have that ? during a shootout.

Who said they’d be available ‘next season’? There is an Azure server going in the Middle East. Ubisoft haven’t said they’re doing to use it (as far as I’m aware) and not do we know if it’ll even be suitable for Siege.

Even with that, the South African server was announced by Microsoft well over a year ago and Ubisoft said they would be using it in Feb (around then anyway). And it’s still not available (from Microsoft). So it’s going to be a long time before we have a Middle East server (if ever).

It was always the top answer to a million of these posts mid last season. Never a link and got the usual 'do your own research'.

Well here’s a link the current locations. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/global-infrastructure/locations/ If you look near the bottom you see the UAE servers have been announced but not available yet (same as the SA ones). I’ve never seen anything from Ubisoft about them so can’t really provide a link to that.
