FIFA is to form an anti-corruption committee as part of new regulations introduced to 'strengthen the credibility' of the organisation according to president Sepp Blatter.
The news comes as FIFA aim to recover from allegations of corruption over World Cup hosting votes where committee members Amos Adamu and Reynald Temarii were banned by FIFA from taking part in any kind of football activity
"This committee will strengthen our credibility and give us a new image in terms of transparency," Blatter told Swiss newspaper Sonntags Zeitung.
"I will take care of it personally, to ensure there is no corruption at FIFA."
Blatter will not be on the committee himself, but it will contain nine members from the world of sport and other occupations.
Nigeria's Adamu became the first FIFA member ever to be suspended for bribery when he was struck off for three years and fined 10,000 Swiss Francs by the body's ethics committee, though he vowed to appeal.
The Nigerian was found guilty of taking money for his World Cup hosting vote when he asked an investigator from the Sunday Times to channel money for a project through a family company.
Fellow executive committee member Temarii, of Tahiti, was also suspended for a year and fined 5,000 Swiss Francs for breaching rules on loyalty and confidentiality, something he also denied.
