Real Tamale United, who were recently relegated, have found themselves in hot water after being charged by the Ghana Football Association for allegedly fielding unregistered players in their match against Dreams FC.
The Disciplinary Committee of the GFA has accused RTU of breaching Section 34(6)(d) of the GFA Disciplinary Code, 2019 during their game on June 12, 2024.
The controversy arose when RTU used unregistered players in the match, as the first-team players refused to play due to unpaid salaries and entitlements. To make matters worse, the team sheet listed names of players who did not even travel with the team, raising suspicions of impersonation.
The GFA has condemned RTU’s actions, stating that they have brought the game into disrepute with their violation of league rules.
The team has until Friday to respond to the charges.
This scandal has shocked the football community in Ghana, and fans are eagerly awaiting the outcome of these charges.
