Real Tamale United (RTU) coach Abdul Mumin Abdulai has drawn attention to the team's severe financial struggles, disclosing that players have gone without salaries for the past five months, while he himself remains owed nearly a year's worth of wages.

In an interview with Kumasi-based Akoma FM, Abdulai illuminated the internal challenges confronting RTU, shedding light on the dire situation.

"The players boycotted yesterday's training because they haven't received their salaries in nearly five months, plus some unpaid bonuses. While I, as the coach, have not been paid in nearly a year. Our situation is dire, and we require immediate help," Abdulai stated.

The financial turmoil prompted the players to boycott training ahead of their impending clash against Heart of Lions in the Ghana Premier League.

Abdulai underscored the gravity of the team's predicament, noting that some players are struggling to meet even their basic needs.

He emphasized the urgent need to address the issue, appealing for prompt assistance as RTU prepares for a critical match against Heart of Lions on Sunday.

RTU's current bottom position in the league table after 19 matches reflects the uphill battle they face amidst their financial crisis.
