The race for the improved GH¢500,000 cash prize for the winner of the 2023/24 betPawa Premier League begins today with a Real Tamale United (RTU) test for a revived Accra Hearts of Oak side at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium.

The two and other 16 clubs will jostle each other for the points to win the competition to alsosecure the sole slot to represent Ghana in the CAF Champions League competition next year.

For Hearts, it will mark the beginning of the hunt for a 22nd title glory as they also set out to avenge a painful defeat suffered in the hands of their host in Accra last season.

After making a return to the topflight in the 2021/22 season, RTU have become a torn in the flesh of the Phobian family.

In that season, they drew 0-0 with the Phobians at home and whitewashedthem 4-1 at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Last season, RTU continued with their new form over the Phobians, doing a double over them as both struggled for survival.

First, it was a 1-0 defeat at home in their week 16 clash through a stunning striker from a former protege of the Phobians, Manaf Umar.

As if that was not enough, Umar returned to his favourite Accra Sports Stadium in the return leg and nailed the winner in a 2-1 victory over Hearts to escaped relegation.

Umar has left the club to join Nsoatreman FC and that would come as a relief to the Rainbow boys.

Former Asante Kotoko striker, Alhassan Abdullai Shilla, has joined the technical staff of RTU as the Team Manager, and will be offering support to Coach Abdullai A. Mumin and his assistant, Alhassan Iddi Manzah, to make sure they see off Hearts of Oak.
