By doing so, he became the first FIFA eWorld Cup champion from Asia or Saudi Arabia. "Becoming the first player from Asia and the Middle East to win the title was something special," he told us in an interview in October. "We often had players in the Grand Final, so I asked myself why we weren’t able to win the tournament too."
After lifting the trophy in 2015, he began promoting the FIFA game in the Middle East and spoke about eFootball at Gamescom 2018.
