Pressure is mounting on Premier Soccer League authorities to sanction Monomotapa Football Club from its involvement in the Asiagate scandal.
The Harare based side masqueraded as national team in Asia in 2009.
The match-fixing scandal has led to the suspension of 82 players most of them Warriors core players.
PSL sources said the Monomotapa saga would be up for discussion at its next meeting.
The call is coming from other premier league clubs.
"There is a strong feeling among other clubs that a tough stance should be taken on Monomotapa. Already its owner Solomon Mugavazi has been suspended from the Zifa board," said a PSL official.
He added that clubs want "total ban" on Monomotapa Football Club.
Former Zifa boss Henrietta Rushwaya who is seen as the scandal mastermind has been arrested.
She on $500 bail pending February 2O court appearance.
