Blatter's plans follow a difficult year for FIFA which saw allegations of corruption over World Cup hosting votes result in executive committee members Amos Adamu and Reynald Temarii being banned from taking part in any kind of football-related activity.

There were also claims of collusion between World Cup bidding nations Spain/Portugal and Qatar - although they were cleared by FIFA.

Blatter has now revealed FIFA will put together an anti-corruption body aimed at improving the image of world football's governing body.

"This committee will strengthen our credibility and give us a new image in terms of transparency," Blatter is reported by BBC Sport to have told Swiss newspaper Sonntags Zeitung.

"I will take care of it personally, to ensure there is no corruption at FIFA."

The committee will reportedly consist of up to nine members from both the world of sport and beyond. Blatter will not be among the committee members himself.
