Gianni Infantino wins FIFA presidency

Gianni Infantino is FIFA's ninth president after being elected at the world governing body's extraordinary congress in Zurich today.

The FIFA presidential election entered a second round of voting for the first time in 42 years after Infantino of Switzerland secured more backing than pre-vote favourite Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim al Khalifa of Bahrain in the first round, when a two thirds majority was required to win.
