This is an official term that came up for me recently, although a more generic formulation like Diarmuid's might fit your context better.

ghost-played


Explanation:
Ghost-busting is certainly rife in Germany, Switzerland & Brazil, though also ambiguous for fake games that have never taken place but have been heavily bet on.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I should have added context. This document described what will happen at a children's football camp. Probably not much betting going on.
