Just a day before his defeat, Arslan Ash had a memorable encounter with Brazilian football star Neymar Jr. at the sidelines of the Esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia.
The meeting was especially significant as it coincided with Ash’s birthday.
He shared his excitement on Twitter, stating, “Couldn’t have asked for a better birthday present than meeting Neymar Jr.! Thanks for making my day!”
Neymar, who currently plays for Saudi football club Al Hilal, was present at the event to participate in a celebrity showmatch aimed at promoting esports.
A passionate esports fan himself, Neymar is also a part-owner of FURIA Esports, Brazil’s largest esports organization, highlighting his deep involvement in the gaming community.
