The appeals hearing dates for the Asiagate match-fixing scandal life ban appellants has been set for July 29 and 30.
Former Warriors coach Sunday Chidzambwa, players Method Mwanjali and Thomas Sweswe as well as a sports journalist, will appear before the Silas Chekera-chaired Zifa Special Appeals Committee.
South Africa-based Chidzambwa, Mwanjali and Sweswe in April applied to have their cases heard in July when they would be on the off-season break from the South African Premier Soccer League.
Zimbabwe Football Association chief executive officer Jonathan Mashingaidze said they had communicated with the appellants advising them of the dates.
"We gave them summons last week in writing and telephonically, asking them to appear before the Appeals Committee. If they do not turn up, the hearings will proceed as planned," said Mashingaidze.
Advocate Thabani Mpofu and football administrator Chris Sibanda are part of the three-member Appeals Committee.
