Dreams FC file protest against Real Tamale United for fielding ineligible players

Dreams FC have formally filled a protest against Real Tamale United (RTU) following their outstanding Ghana Premier League match on Wednesday in Dawu.


The reigning MTN FA CUP champions filed the protest on Thursday morning at the Ghana Football Association for the misconduct by RTU for fielding  unqualified players. 


In a statement released on Thursday afternoon by the Dawu based club, it stated that the Dreams FC captain opposed the identities of the Real Tamale United players which was duly noted and recorded by the match officials before the game commenced.





Earlier the GFA Disciplinary Committee charged Real Tamale United and initiated an investigation into the incident, which has cast a shadow over this season's competition, with the league set to conclude this weekend.

The GFA’s statement reads: "Real Tamale United have been charged with a breach of Section 34(6)(d) of the GFA Disciplinary Code, 2019, following their Ghana Premier League game against Dreams FC. It is alleged that the Club intentionally deceived the match officials during the said game by using unregistered players to impersonate officially registered players of their club, which constitutes misconduct that brings the name of the game into disrepute."
