Gianni Infantino re-elected as Fifa president

    Gianni Infantino has been re-elected for a second term as president of Fifa.

    The Swiss-Italian, 49, was re-elected until 2023 without opposition at Fifa's annual congress in Paris.

    He succeeded Sepp Blatter in 2016 and has increased the number of teams at the 2026 World Cup and proposed key changes to the Club World Cup.

    Blatter was in charge for 17 years until he was banned amid a corruption scandal in 2015.
