YouTube star Darren "IShowSpeed" is reportedly hosting a 1v1 football tournament in France, having previously hosted such a tournament in other locations as well. The IRL streamer has even offered a $20,000 prize for the winner of the tournament in the past.
The tournament involves two players going up against each other, with one attacking the goal while another defends it. Meanwhile, there is also a goalkeeper guarding the goal. Therefore, the attacker would have to outmaneuver the defender as well as get past the keeper's defenses and score a goal.
