Gianni Infantino was re-elected on Wednesday by acclamation for a second term as FIFA president at the Congress of world football 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 run until 2023.

"Today nobody talks about crises, nobody talks about rebuilding FIFA from scratch, nobody talks about scandals, nobody talks about corruption, we talk about football," Infantino addressed representatives of the 211 member federation, before the Women's World Cup begins in the French capital on Friday.
