Zimbabwe have been expelled from 2018 World Cup qualifying for failing to pay former coach Jose Claudinei Georgini
Georgini, nicknamed Valinhos is owed $67,000 (£45,000) in salary and allowances from his spell as coach between January and November 2008.
Football's World Governing Body FIFA said it had taken the action "as a result of the non-payment of an outstanding debt".
FIFA added that Zimbabwe's Football Association (Zifa) failed to make the payments despite a grace period.
Zifa communications manager Xolisani Gwesela told that the body would appeal against the ruling.
"We have already started to engage authorities in Zurich," he said. "In any process you can appeal - just because a ruling has been declared, it doesn't mean the door has been closed."
Zifa CEO Jonathan Mashingaidze told BBC Sport he "does not see why we have been kicked out of the World Cup, the debt is still there anyway".
He added: "We've been liaising with Fifa and asking for a payment plan. We assume full responsibility of the debt, but the queue is pretty long.
"There are also former national team coaches Tom Saintfiet and Sunday Chidzambwa, and we owe money to banks."
Zimbabwe, who have never qualified for a World Cup, have to act quickly because the draw for the African zone qualifiers for the tournament in Russia will take place in July 2015, with matches set to kick off in October 2015
