Real Tamale United was unable to field a team to face Great Olympics on the final day of the Ghana Premier League.
The already relegated team did not show up for the match, and Great Olympics is likely to be awarded three points and three goals as a result of the forfeiture.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) will open an investigation into the incident before making a final decision on whether to award Great Olympics the points and goals.
RTU is facing additional sanctions from the GFA, having already been charged by the Disciplinary Committee for fielding unregistered players in a midweek game against Dreams FC.
The Pride of the North suffered an 8-1 defeat to Dreams FC in an outstanding Ghana Premier League match. Unfortunately, RTU fielded unregistered players for the game following the regular players’ refusal to play due to unpaid entitlements.
It appears RTU was unable to persuade their registered players to travel to Accra for the match against Great Olympics, resulting in the forfeiture.
Real Tamale United is now at risk of facing severe sanctions as their legal and administrative woes continue to deepen.
