Azure Static Web Apps cannot be created on Azure for Students due to non-overlapping allowed regions

I am trying to create an Azure Static Web Apps resource using an Azure for Students subscription, but the deployment is blocked by an Azure regional policy.

Environment

• Subscription type: Azure for Students
• Service: Azure Static Web Apps
• Intended pricing tier: Free
• Deployment method: Deployment token / direct deployment, without GitHub
• Intended workload: static HTML/JavaScript frontend
• No Azure Functions backend is required for the application itself

Error

When I try to create the Static Web App, Azure returns:

RequestDisallowedByAzure

With the following message:

Resource 'Painel-MO' was disallowed by Azure: This policy maintains a set of best available regions where your subscription can deploy resources. The objective of this policy is to ensure that your subscription has full access to Azure services with optimal performance. Should you need additional or different regions, contact support.

Allowed regions on my subscription

I checked the regional policy applied to the Azure for Students subscription.

The allowed locations are:

• Brazil South (brazilsouth)
• Chile Central (chilecentral)
• Mexico Central (mexicocentral)
• South Africa North (southafricanorth)
• France Central (francecentral)

I also verified the policy assignment, but I do not have permission or an available option to modify the list of allowed regions for this subscription.

Regions offered by Azure Static Web Apps

During the Static Web App creation wizard, the available regions for “Azure Functions API and staging environments” are:

• Central US
• East US 2
• West US 2
• West Europe
• East Asia

Therefore, there is currently no overlap between:

1. the regions permitted by the Azure for Students subscription policy; and
2. the regions offered by Azure Static Web Apps.

Steps to reproduce

1. Sign in to the Azure portal using an Azure for Students subscription.
2. Create a new Azure Static Web App.
3. Select the Free plan.
4. Select deployment-token authentication.
5. Continue to the Advanced tab.
6. Select any of the regions offered by Static Web Apps.
7. Review and create the resource.
8. Deployment fails with RequestDisallowedByAzure.

Troubleshooting already performed

• I verified the allowed-region policy for the subscription.
• I confirmed that Central US, East US 2, West US 2, West Europe, and East Asia are not included in the subscription allow-list.
• I confirmed that the regions allowed by the subscription are not offered in the Static Web Apps creation wizard.
• I checked the policy assignment and there is no option available to me to change or expand the allowed-region list.
• Changing the resource name or resource group does not address the regional policy conflict.
• I also attempted to open an Azure technical support request, but Basic support does not provide technical support tickets.

Question

Is there any officially supported way to create an Azure Static Web Apps resource under this Azure for Students subscription when none of the Static Web Apps regions overlap with the subscription's allowed-region policy?

More specifically:

• Can Microsoft enable one Static Web Apps-supported region, such as Central US or East US 2, for an Azure for Students subscription?
• Is there any supported way for the subscription owner to modify or expand the allowed-region list?
• Is there any supported configuration that avoids this regional dependency when no Azure Functions API is being used?
• If this limitation cannot be changed for Azure for Students, is this considered an expected product limitation?

I am not requesting additional paid quota or a paid resource. I only need to resolve, or understand, the incompatibility between the subscription's regional policy and the regions supported by Azure Static Web Apps.I am trying to create an Azure Static Web Apps resource using an Azure for Students subscription, but the deployment is blocked by an Azure regional policy.
