Meanwhile, the government will soon introduce legislation to make prosecute match-fixing and doping, the Ministry of Sport and Recreation has said.
"Following the Sport and Recreation Commission inquiry into the state of football in Zimbabwe, Government has noted with great concern, the lack of accountability, non-compliance and lack of good governance characterising the football architecture in Zimbabwe," read the statement released today by Minister Makhosini Hlongwane.
"The cancer of corruption traverses all sections of the football fraternity thereby crippling the optimal development of football in Zimbabwe.
"It is therefore, Government's intention to deal with the cancer of corruption in football and other sport codes, by including but not limited to, the introduction of legislation on match fixing as well as doping.
According to the statement, the Ministry of Sport and Recreation envisages an environment where match fixing, doping as well as other malpractices should be punishable by law in-order to ensure the integrity of the Sport Movement in Zimbabwe.
"Government takes very seriously the integrity and credibility of sport and calls for the sport movement to play its part in ensuring the restoration of ethical behavior and values so as to guarantee fair play across all sporting disciplines."
Zimbabwean football plunged to its lowest levels between 2006 and 2009 when the men's national team was embroiled in fixing matches in what became known as the Asiagate scandal.
