Former England captain Gary Lineker has claimed that the way FIFA is running world football is "hugely depressing" for supporters.
The governing body announced earlier today that a report compiled by American lawyer Michael Garcia looking into claims of World Cup bidding corruption will be released next year.
However, FIFA has come under increasing pressure in recent weeks having initially refused to release the 430-page publication, which led to Garcia stepping down from his position.
Speaking to BBC Sport, Lineker said: "The way everything's run at FIFA, it's hugely depressing for those of us who love the game. "What's going on in terms of the game's administration and the way it is run, it's just wrong.
"The whole thing is a farce. It's said football is the beautiful game, but it's hugely tarnished by what's going on. It's come to the stage really where something needs to be done. I don't think there is any question that Fifa is at an all-time low, in terms of public appreciation, in terms of image, in terms of the way they handle things.
"The only way something will really change is if the major federations around the world come together and say 'we have had enough of this'. But don't hold your breath."
Lineker played in two World Cups for England and acted as an ambassador for the country's 2018 World Cup bid.
