The proposed reform topics include enhanced centralized integrity checks for Executive Committee members, introduction of term limits, higher standards of governance at all levels of football structures, including confederations and member associations as well as individual disclosure of compensation.

Blatter, who led the FIFA office since 1998, will continue to carry out his functions until the new president to be elected.

Blatter was re-elected for the fifth time as FIFA president on May 29, just two days after former FIFA vice president Jeffrey Webb and six other FIFA officials were arrested in a raid requested by US authorities for bribe allegation, in a luxury Zurich hotel.

However, four days after re-elected as the FIFA president, Blatter surprisingly announced that he would quit the position among corruption scandals.
