Arslan Ash faces visa issues once again, causing him to miss two important esports events in 2025—Evo Japan and Riyadh Clash. This has disappointed his fans and the Tekken community worldwide.
Arslan Ash, known as one of the best Tekken players in the world, has had an impressive career. He has won five EVO championships and claimed many global titles. However, visa issues have stopped him from attending Evo Japan and Riyadh Clash, two major tournaments on the Tekken World Tour 2025.
In a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter), Arslan Ash confirmed he would not attend these events. He said, “I will not be able to attend Riyadh Clash and Evo JP this year. I made every effort to go, but unfortunately, I encountered visa problems again.” Despite the challenges, he remains hopeful. “It’s fine, I’ve learned to live with passport limitations. Maybe one day, things will change,” he added.
The Evo Japan tournament in April and Riyadh Clash later in the year are key events for the Tekken World Tour 2025. These tournaments attract top players from around the world. Arslan Ash’s absence will be felt, but it gives other talented players a chance to shine.
Arslan Ash faces visa issues not just this time but regularly. Players from South Asia often face similar struggles. Travel restrictions prevent many of them from competing internationally, even though they are highly skilled. Arslan has often spoken about this challenge and has called for more support for esports players from Pakistan.
Even though he is missing these key events, Arslan Ash continues to focus on his training. He confirmed that he will take part in the LevelUp Expo and looks forward to competing in more local events. He also plans to explore international competitions where he may not face the same visa issues.
Arslan’s focus on improvement shows his dedication. Despite missing Evo Japan and Riyadh Clash, his esports journey isn’t over. Fans are excited to see him compete again soon.
Stay tuned for more updates on Arslan Ash’s future tournaments and his journey in esports.
