The plan to grant anonymity and protection to players and officials targeted by illegal gambling groups was announced amid great fanfare by world football's ruling body last September.
It was quietly put on ice two weeks later when Blatter decided to integrate it into broader efforts to clean up governance at FIFA, which has been dogged by allegations of corruption over the awards of World Cups to Russia in 2018 and Qatar in 2022 and its own election process.
"President Blatter suspended the programme specifically focused on match-fixing to allow both the Executive Committee and the independent governance committee to determine whether this should be applied against the totality of the organisation," FIFA's head of security Chris Eaton told the Soccerex European Forum.
"It's true to say that I was disappointed but I understood. I'm pleased that they saw it as being a valuable programme to apply in a more total way," Eaton later told reporters.
"I am looking forward to broadening the responsibility because the common issues here - it's the same bookmakers and the same criminals," he said.
Football has been hit by match-fixing scandals in a number of leagues around the world. Three Pakistani cricketers were jailed last year for agreeing to fix part of a test match against England at Lord's.
