Outspoken Zimbabwe Football Association president Philip Chiyangwa says people without money should not have a say in the running of local football.

Chiyangwa's comments come in the wake of criticism over the national team's chaotic preparations and travel arrangements for last weekend's match away to Guinea.

Chiyangwa whose executive was found wanting in their preparations for the match needed help from the government and mobile communications company Netone to charter a plane to Guinea.

But the Zifa president speaking to Star FM said his association should be immune to criticism because "nobody" is contributing money towards the running of football in the country.

“If you are not putting money or contributing financially for the purpose of ensuring that Zimbabwean football is well managed, shut up, " said Chiyangwa.

“Only if you contribute, I have asked people in the nation to contribute a dollar.

“No one, nothing,  they leave it all to me and my executive.

“No country in Africa has achieved what we have achieved this year.

“We achieved a triple major, qualifying for Brazil Olympics, Afcon for men and Afcon for women," added Chiyangwa.
