The Disciplinary Committee of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has imposed a fine of GHc100,000 on Real Tamale United FC (RTU FC) for behaving in a way that brings the game into disrepute contrary to Section 34(6)(d) of the GFA Premier League Regulations.
The Disciplinary Committee found that during the Matchday 28 game against Dreams FC at the Theatre of Dreams, Real Tamale United FC did intentionally deceive the match officials during the said game by using unregistered players to impersonate officially registered players of the club.
Real Tamale United FC pleaded guilty to the charges and pleaded for leniency. The Statement of defence filed by the club explained that the club were in a difficult situation and officials thought their actions on the day were intended to alleviate an already bad situation of the club as the club's registered players refused to make the trip.
In its ruling on the matter, the GFA Disciplinary Committee found Real Tamale United FC guilty of the charge and fined the Club for misconduct.
Officials of RTU FC who led the team to the said match have each been handed a one-year ban from all football-related activities with immediate effect.
