The Disciplinary Committee of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has fined Real Tamale United (RTU) GHc100,000 for actions that compromised the integrity of the game.

The fine is a result of RTU’s violation of Section 34(6)(d) of the GFA Premier League Regulations, which occurred during their matchday 28 game against Dreams FC at the Theatre of Dreams.

RTU FC was found guilty of using unregistered players to impersonate officially registered players, an act deemed to have undermined the fairness of the game. The club admitted to the charges, citing that the use of unregistered players was due to the registered players’ refusal to travel.

Despite the club’s explanation, the GFA Disciplinary Committee imposed the fine to maintain league standards. RTU’s misconduct contributed to their relegation from the Premier League, and they will compete in the Division One League for the upcoming season.
