FIFA says the World Anti-Doping Agency has praised its anti-doping program to test football players for banned substances.
FIFA says it's been told by WADA to expect inclusion in a report this year of sports federations which comply with the World Anti-Doping Code.
Football's governing body was approved on the last WADA compliance list in 2008 despite longstanding tension between the organizations. They made peace the next year.
WADA leaders held a joint news conference with FIFA medical experts at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, which was later declared clean of doping.
