Sepp Blatter will today unveil his plans for FIFA reforms - with UEFA president Michel Platini urging him to keep his promises to implement change.
Platini hopes the meeting of FIFA's executive committee in Zurich will lead to a new era of transparency after 12 months where the world governing body has been rocked by a series of corruption scandals.
Platini told Press Association Sport: "We hope that what Mr Blatter promised us this time becomes fact, and not just ideas.
"We hope we can bring transparency to FIFA but there will be a proposal and we will have a discussion."
Europe will hold more than a third of the votes tomorrow - only 20 members are expected to attend as USA's Chuck Blazer and Cameroon's Issa Hayatou are ill, and Thailand's Worawi Makudi is not attending due to floods in his country.
Platini said he was confident FIFA is heading for a better future, but that football could still thrive despite the problems with the organisation.
He added: "FIFA has to have a better image and perhaps after a lot of years of a certain way of how to manage FIFA perhaps it would be nice to have the new things promised by Mr Blatter.
"I get the impression that Mr Blatter is really motivated to change something - we will see."
FIFA have been under pressure to change following the corruption scandals of the last 12 months which has seen three FIFA members banned, including presidential candidate Mohamed Bin Hammam banned for life for bribery, and FIFA vice-president Jack Warner resigning a month after being charged with the same offence.
German FA president Theo Zwanziger may be appointed to head a new body to push through reforms - he has given Blatter a five-point plan for change including a proposal to scrap the International FA Board, the game's law-making body made up of the four British associations and FIFA, and make it more democratic.
Zwanziger's other proposals are for stronger financial controls on FIFA, including members having to provide information on their personal finances; revamping the FIFA ethics committee to include experts from football and the law; and changes to the election of the FIFA president, and giving clubs more of a voice.
Zwanziger said: "I am cautiously optimistic that we can re-establish the credibility of football."
The pressure group Transparency International have called on FIFA to release court documents surrounding a fraud case involving payments made by collapsed marketing company ISL. BBC's Panorama have named Brazil's FIFA member and 2014 World Cup chief Ricardo Teixeira as among those having received payments.
Sylvia Schenk, the group's sports advisor, said: "FIFA can write to the court and say there's public interest and we want the ISL files to be disclosed."
When asked if she thought FIFA were discussing the possibility, Schenk said: "I know so".
