Real Tamale United players boycotted training on Wednesday and threatened not to participate in their final league against King Faisal after not being paid since April, according to report we have gathered.
The Pride and of the North side are struggling to escape relegation ahead of their final league game against King Faisal scheduled to take place on Sunday at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium, but their players are refusing to train until they are paid, citing, mental, emotional and financial burdens.
The players have been owed three months worth of salaries from the previous 2021/22 season that were not paid after a change in management.
This unresolved financial matter has raised concerns among the players, who fear that they might face a similar predicament from this season.
Adding to the frustration, the Chief Executive Officer of Real Tamale United had assured the team that their salaries would be paid before their victorious match against Hearts of Oak, where they emerged triumphant with a score of 2-1 at the Accra Sports Stadium last weekend.
However, despite the CEO’s promises, they salaries were not paid.
Given the accumulation of unpaid salaries and the disappointment resulting from unfulfilled promises, the Real Tamale United players have collectively decided not to play the final game against King Faisal.
