The man spearheading allegations of corruption into the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bids on Wednesday called for the results to be made public.

Former US federal prosecutor Michael Garcia, who has notably been looking into the way Qatar won the right to host the 2022 tournament, made his appeal on the eve of a two-day FIFA Executive Committee meeting being held in Zurich.

Earlier Wednesday, Hans-Joachim Eckert, the chairman of FIFA's adjudicatory chamber, which will decide on the future of the report and whether it will be published, said the findings are currently being evaluated.

But ethics panel head Garcia believes that FIFA should authorise the publication.

"Given the limited role Mr. Hans-Joachim Eckert envisions for the Adjudicatory Chamber, I believe it is now necessary for the FIFA Executive Committee to authorize the appropriate publication of the Report on the Inquiry into the 2018/2022 FIFA World Cup Bidding Process," Garcia said in a statement e-mailed to AFP.

"Publication would be consistent with statements made by a number of Executive Committee members... and with the goals of the reform process."

There has been a growing clamour for the findings to be made public with calls coming from some of the game's most powerful figures.

They include Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein, the vice-president of FIFA, representing Asia.

"In the interest of full transparency I believe it is important that the much anticipated report on the ethics investigation -- that is crucial to ensuring good governance at FIFA -- is fully disclosed and open to the public," said Jordanian Prince Ali in a statement emailed to AFP.

"This will only help the football community move ahead in reforming our institutions in the best interest of the sport."

The Gulf state of Qatar has faced corruption accusations into its 2022 campaign but has strongly denied any wrongdoing.

Garcia's probe has also examined the process by which Russia won in its bid to host the 2018 World Cup.

In a break with FIFA tradition, the 2018 and 2022 tournaments were awarded at the same time, in 2010, leading to claims of horsetrading in the bidding process.

The 350-page Garcia report was handed to FIFA on September 5.

It summed up a year-long investigation that involved interviewing more than 75 witnesses and compiling a dossier with more than 200,000 pages and audio interviews.

FIFA announced that the report recommended action against "individuals" over the bids, and changes for future bidding campaigns, but has not given further details.

"It is likely that at the beginning of November, we will be able to give the first public statement of our position with regard to this general report," said Eckert.

He explained that the goal was to verify whether the probe team had followed all the correct procedures and whether more detailed information was required in certain areas.

Eckert said that responsibility for deciding whether specific ethics proceedings should be opened lay with Garcia's panel.

"If Michael Garcia and his deputy Cornel Borbely find that such individual proceedings are required, the matter will be formally referred to the adjudicatory chamber," he said.

In the event that the chamber went on to initiate such proceedings, the final result of those would be made public, he added.
