Saudi esports player Raef Turkistani has secured a place in the Tekken 8 competition at the Esports World Cup, marking another major milestone in his international career and making him the first Saudi player to qualify for the global Tekken competition.<\/p>\n

Turkistani’s qualification follows an impressive run in competitive Tekken, where he has established himself among the leading players from Saudi Arabia and the wider region.<\/p>\n

From Karate to Esports<\/h3>\n

Turkistani began his sporting career in karate, winning a bronze medal at the 2017 Asian Under-21 Championships in the kumite +84kg category.<\/p>\n

He later transitioned into competitive Tekken, drawing on skills developed through combat sports, including fast reactions, mental discipline and concentration under pressure.<\/p>\n

A Growing Record of International Success<\/h3>\n

The Saudi player strengthened his international reputation by finishing third at the Tekken World Tour 2024 Finals, one of the strongest results achieved by a Saudi or Arab player in the global competition.<\/p>\n

He continued his rise by winning the Tekken 8 gold medal at the 2025 Islamic Solidarity Games in Riyadh. Turkistani defeated Bahrain’s Saeed Hashem 3-2 in the final, giving the Kingdom its first esports gold medal in the competition’s debut esports appearance.<\/p>\n

In January 2026, Turkistani was also named Best Fighting Game Player at the Saudi Esports Federation Awards, recognizing his performances and achievements during the previous year.<\/p>\n

A New Global Challenge<\/h3>\n

Qualifying for the Tekken 8 competition at the Esports World Cup represents another major step in Turkistani’s career as he prepares to compete against some of the world’s leading players.<\/p>\n

His qualification also highlights the growing international presence of Saudi esports talent, as the Kingdom continues to develop a competitive gaming ecosystem capable of producing players who can compete at the highest level.<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia continues to invest in gaming and esports as part of its National Gaming and Esports Strategy, which aims to strengthen the Kingdom’s position as a global hub for the industry and develop local talent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
