Gianni Infantino was re-elected on Wednesday by acclamation for a second term as FIFA president at the Congress of world football’s governing body in Paris.
The 49 year-old, who took charge of FIFA in February 2016 after the departure of the disgraced Sepp Blatter, stood unopposed for a new four-year term which will run until 2023.
