A particular video that surfaced on the internet is of Samuel Chukwueze playing football on a dusty field with an AC Milan jersey.
All Stars Championship
In the past three years, Chukwueze has been hosting the All Stars Championship in his hometown Umuahia. The event takes place in a local school and the shirts and the kits worn are real and they are either bought from clubs by Samuel or he buys them. We are able to see teams wearing Milan, PSG, Juventus, and Villarreal shirts on the field.
Samuel Chukwueze Charity Intentions
The competition is planned for one week, and its purpose is to help local people or institutions. Samuel Chukwueze, often accompanied by friends, organizes this event as a way of giving back. In the video, he is in a number 11 Milan shirt (now worn by Pulisic) and in a match, he even equalized 2-2 against Ucha FC. Last year, his friend Victor Osimhen participated in the tournament final so, it is significant to the event.
Family Involvement
The clip also captures an aspect where Chukwueze makes a dream assist to his little brother Eze. This family connection demonstrates the embodied and communal aspects of the tournament, proving Chukwueze’s connection to his community and his desire to uplift it through football, his true passion.

This event adds colour and excitement to Umuahia but also helps to unify the people and gives a forum for local talents to be discovered.
