( CNN ) -- Bedevilled by a series of corruption scandals , football 's world governing body FIFA has come to an `` historical crossroad . '' That 's the verdict of FIFA vice president Jeffrey Webb , ahead of a meeting of the governing body 's executive committee in Marrakech next week . Theo Zwanziger , the former head of the German Football Association , wants a key report into alleged corruption into the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups made available to the public with names redacted . Webb , who is also president of the Confederation of North , Central American and Caribbean Association Football , says FIFA has a `` responsibility '' to ensure reform is carried out . `` As a self-regulated body , the world of football finds itself at a historical crossroad , '' Webb told CNN . `` Following the CONCACAF independent investigative report , made public in April of 2013 , the mandate of openness and transparency became a reality . `` The regulations that govern the FIFA Code of Ethics should be aligned with the premise of safeguarding its current reform process . `` I support the publishing of the Garcia Report , appropriately redacting to respect prior witness confidentiality agreements , '' added Webb , referring to Michael Garcia , the American lawyer who investigated the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bidding process for FIFA . `` We have a responsibility and an opportunity to manifest the promise of reform . '' Webb is not the only senior football figure to call for the report to be published with names redacted . Michel Platini , the head of European football , has also called for such measures as has Sunil Gulati , president of U.S Soccer . According to FIFA 's agenda for next week 's meeting , Zwanziger 's proposal will be discussed as point 13.1.3 . The German wants his colleagues to agree to a change of the ethics code which currently prohibits the publication via Article 36 . German press agency DPA quoted Zwanziger as saying : `` I would like to see this ban relaxed so that the FIFA executive committee , as well as the public , in an appropriate form , can be informed of the contents of the investigation . '' A FIFA spokesman told CNN that the matter would most likely be carried out by a vote but would depend on the proposal made by Zwanziger . Last month , FIFA judge Hans-Joachim Eckert released a 42-page summary in which he cleared Russia and Qatar of any wrongdoing in their winning bids to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups respectively . But within hours of the announcement , Garcia made known his displeasure with the findings by labeling them both `` incomplete and erroneous . '' With both men unable to decide how much information should be made public , the matter has been passed onto Domenico Scala , the independent chairman of FIFA 's audit and compliance committee . According to the FIFA agenda for next week 's meeting , he will address members on how much of the 430-page report should be made public . Earlier this year , Marco Villiger , FIFA 's legal director , told reporters that it would be difficult to sustain witness confidentiality if the report was published . `` The code of ethics is based on certain principles , one of which is confidentiality , '' said Villiger . `` Cooperation between witnesses and the ethics committee is based on confidentiality -- if not perhaps certain witnesses , whistle-blowers or other parties might not cooperate to such an extent . '' However , two whistle-blowers were subsequently identified following the publication of Eckert 's summary . Since Eckert 's findings were made public , FIFA has faced a barrage of criticism over the way the entire episode has been handled . Reinhard Rauball , president of the German football league , warned that UEFA 's 54 member nations could leave FIFA if the report into the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 was not published in full . His remarks came just before the Dutch Football Association demanded FIFA hand over a copy of the report , while Greg Dyke , chairman of the English Football Association warned that `` urgent action '' must be taken to restore confidence in the world governing body .
