After a FIFA meeting in Marrakech, Morocco Friday, Blatter said he had asked the organization's executive committee to vote in favor of publishing the report, BBC Sport reported.
Garcia spent two years investigating corruption allegations in the bidding process, but only a 42-page summary of his report was made public by FIFA-appointed judge Hans-Joachim Eckert, the head of FIFA's Ethic's Committee's judicial chamber, last month.
Hours after the release of the summary, Garcia complained Eckert's summary was an "incomplete and innaccurate" representation of his findings. He complained, but his appeal was thrown out by FIFA on Wednesday, and Garcia resigned from his role leading the investigatory chamber of the FIFA ethics committee in protest on Thursday.
