Newly formed NFAZ president Philip Chiyangwa has bragged that he is the god of Zimbabwean football.
He says he is so influential that even the world soccer governing body FIFA listens to him.
Chiyangwa told state run Star FM Zimbabwe that the bans handed to Henrietta Rushwaya ,Nation Dube,Ian Gorowa and Edzai Kasinauyo are binding and FIFA would endorse his association's decision.
"FIFA listens to me , I am the god of football in Zimbabwe here. "What I say goes , they listen to me".
Rushwaya was handed a life ban for her involvement in the match fixing scandal that rocked local football just before the Warriors AFCON qualifier against Swaziland.
Matches at the CHAN 2016 tournament are alleged to have been fixed as well.
Kasinauyo and Gorowa were handed 10 year bans from football while Dube received a five year ban.
