SunSport exclusively revealed last week that Rooney will be named in Gareth Southgate's squad this week for the friendly clash with USA on November 15 in recognition of his career for the Three Lions.
The FA have even announced the fixture at Wembley is being renamed the Wayne Rooney Foundation International in support of his charitable work.
But the Times report that Wembley bosses will not be donating any gate receipts from the game to the fund, despite the game being named after it.
The FA is likely to earn around £3million in gate receipts from the match, yet none of that money is being handed over.
Instead, the only money reaching the Rooney Foundation will come from bucket collections inside the stadium and from fans who will be encouraged to text in or donate online.
The FA claim they will provide signed England shirts to the foundation, and will host a gala dinner at Wembley next year.
But it appears no direct money will come out of the FA coffers towards the fund, with all cash coming from the public and other auctions.
It raises serious questions about the position of the governing body just a week after the Welsh and Scottish rugby unions also came under fire in similar circumstances.
They were forced to change their plans after it emerged they too would not contribute any money directly to Doddie Weir's motor neuron disease charity from their match on Saturday.
Both unions have since decided to stump up a six figure sum themselves, having come in for criticism from fans and former players.
Rooney's England return has been heavily criticised, with Alan Shearer saying he should be a VIP rather than pulling on the Three Lions shirt for a 120th time.
Others are disappointed England boss Southgate has allowed vital international matches to become little more than a PR exercise by the FA.
