Karman Singh, on the other hand, lost his opening-round match 1-2 to Bahrain’s Faqeehi Abdulaziz Abdullatif despite fighting hard. He produced a similar strong comeback as Charanjot, defeating Kiswani Abdelrahman of Palestine 2-1 in the Losers Bracket Round 1 before losing 1-2 against Aldhafiri Meshari of Kuwait in the Losers Bracket Round 2 to lose the match and withdraw from the competition.

One of the best EA Sports FC Online players in India is Charanjot Singh. In the Asian Games 2023 FIFA Online 4 seeding competition, he had defeated other South Asian athletes from Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka to earn the top seeding, while Karman Singh Tikka had placed fifth.
