The federations have been called to UEFA's headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland for the talks on Wednesday.
Some 200 matches are being investigated by German prosecutors in a match-fixing probe covering nine European leagues.

The federations affected are Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia, Croatia, Turkey, Switzerland and Belgium.
The German football federation DFB and the German Football League (DFL) Monday announced they had set up a task force to help investigate the allegations affecting games in Germany.
Four games in the second division, three in the third division and 25 in lower leagues and at under-19 level are believed involved.

DFB president Theo Zwanziger said the federations would be cooperating closely with prosecutors.
'We want the truth on the table,' he said.
