“Since Netone has been around it has been sponsoring football and it’s a lot of money they have put in and have taken the same route like other networks around Africa like Vodacom and Orange said Chiyangwa
“Netone has come through for ZIFA for the Gabon campaign and ZIFA’s requirement in 2017 are covered in this agreement.
“I could not have asked for more and have made our life easier, Don’t pay money in our account pay the recipient,the Pasuwa’s, the players etc pay them direct.
“I want to encourage Pasuwa to tell the team that money is there we want you to focus on football and we are now looking for the team to go to Gabon and do well.
I don’t want Netone money getting into a ZIFA account and then someone presents a garnish order. As I have said any sponsorship money will go directly to the recipients not through ZIFA , so that not creditor get that money said Chiyangwa
Minister of Sport and Recreation paid tribute to the sponsorship saying sport should be supported by the corporate world.
Our belief as government is that there should be good link between football and the business sect.
Netone will run competitions on its network where fans can get the chance to win a number of prizes under the campaign The One behind Warriors
