ZIFA President Philip Chiyangwa has claimed that his association never abandoned the Mighty Warriors on their return from 2016 Olympics Games.
Social media is awash with images of the Mighty Warriors sitting at the side of the road with their luggage attempting to get transport into the city centre.
Players are said to have been given $5 upon arrival.
Chiyangwa issued a statement later on:
I want to put it on record that the question of my benevolence should not be abused whenever there is an opportunity for people to associate me with their ills.
There was no ZIFA person involved today, it was ZOC and when the players disbursed, it was after they had finished their business with ZOC and whatever you are hearing (about the Mighty Warriors getting $5 each on their return) has nothing to do with ZIFA, or me, or my administration.
We have money (for the Mighty Warriors), which will be distributed next week, together with their stands.
