Dreams FC’s 8-1 Victory Marred by RTU ‘s Fake Player Controversy

In a shocking turn of events in the Ghana Premier League, the match between Dreams FC and RTU has left fans and officials reeling.

The controversy erupted when it was discovered that RTU fielded a team composed of second-division players, masquerading as their first-team squad, to cover up a player boycott.

This bizarre scenario unfolded in a match that ended with Dreams FC triumphing 8-1.

The controversy began when RTU’s regular players, disgruntled over six months of unpaid wages, decided to boycott the match.

In a desperate move, the club’s chairman allegedly selected second-division players and falsely presented them as the official team.

These imposters wore the identity and jersey numbers of RTU’s registered players, leading to an unprecedented farce in Ghana’s top football league.

One of the most bizarre aspects of this scandal was the recording of a player who did not travel with the RTU team scoring their lone consolation goal.

Even more incredulous, a player who was at home in Tamale heard on the radio that he had been substituted into the game during the final minutes.

This level of deception and mismanagement has sparked outrage and disbelief among fans, officials, and the players themselves.

Dreams FC, seizing the opportunity, dominated the match. One of their players even scored five goals, leading to an overwhelming victory.

However, the legitimacy of this victory is now overshadowed by the scandal involving RTU’s fielding of fictitious players.

Speaking from Tamale, RTU’s captain expressed his shock upon hearing that he had supposedly participated in the game held in Dawu.

Outraged by the impersonation, he has vowed to report the matter to the police. “This is not an Inter Schools game. This is the Ghana Premier League,” Saddick Adams, popular sports enthusiast said, highlighting the gravity of the situation.

The Ghana Football Association is expected to launch an investigation into how such a farce could occur at the highest level of Ghanaian football.

The integrity of the league is at stake, and many are calling for strict penalties against those responsible for this deception.

This incident raises serious questions about the governance and oversight within the league.

Fans and stakeholders are demanding accountability and transparency to ensure such a debacle never happens again.

The scandal not only embarrasses RTU but also tarnishes the reputation of the Ghana Premier League.

In a sport that thrives on passion and integrity, this episode serves as a grim reminder of the potential for misconduct and the need for stringent measures to safeguard the sanctity of the game.
