In a video shared online, Mr Eazi explained that the project, known as 1v1 Africa GH, will see 32 players selected from Ghana to compete in a one-on-one football challenge.
According to him, interested participants have been given the weekend to submit videos showcasing their skills, using the official hashtag associated with the competition.
“We are going to start selecting the top 32 players from Ghana for 1v1 Africa GH. You have this weekend to put out your videos, show your skills, and use the hashtag.”
Mr Eazi launched a football challenge
He encouraged footballers and fans to spread the message, calling on anyone who knows a talented player to help them get involved.
Mr Eazi also expressed excitement about returning to Ghana to witness the level of talent on display, describing the initiative as a platform to allow players to shine.
Beyond exposure, the challenge comes with a major incentive. Participants stand a chance to win a cash prize of GH₵300,000, making it one of the most attractive grassroots football competitions in recent times.
The announcement has since triggered a wave of interest, with many young players already sharing clips of their abilities online.
However, amid the growing excitement, attention has also shifted in an unexpected direction.
Several Ghanaians flooded the comment section of Mr Eazi’s post with a specific request, repeatedly mentioning former Black Stars player Edwin Gyimah.
Many users urged the organisers to consider him for the competition, with some openly appealing for him to be given a chance to participate.

The reaction highlights how the initiative has gone beyond just a talent search, becoming a moment where fans are actively trying to uplift a player they believe still has something to offer.
As the submission window remains open, more videos are expected to surface, with competition for the top 32 spots likely to intensify.
At the same time, conversations around Gyimah’s potential inclusion continue to grow, adding a human interest angle to an already engaging football initiative.
Whether the calls from fans will influence the final selection remains to be seen, but for now, the 1v1 Africa GH challenge has captured both the ambition of rising players and the compassion of a football-loving nation.
