The club is participating in the middle league for the third time after two failed attempts some seasons ago.

Guan United and Bazooka FC from the Upper West Region qualified from Zone 1A for the middle league competition and will meet two other contenders from zone 1B and the winner of the zone 1 automatically qualifies to play in the premier league. Winners of zone 2 and zone 3 in the middle and south belts of Ghana respectively automatically also gain promotion to the premier league.

Asked about the fortunes of Guan united in the middle league, the administrative secretary of the Guan United, Mr. Baba Nuhu Mallam noted that the club recruited some players who have played in the premiership and hope that the experience of such players would be brought to bear in their campaign to qualify this year into the premier league. He also called for the support of the region in their campaign to join Real Tamale United in the elite division of Ghana football.
