Gianni
Infantino has become FIFA's ninth president after being elected in
Zurich on Friday and has promised to 'restore a new era' to world
football's governing body.
The
FIFA presidential election on Friday entered a second round of voting
for the first time in 42 years after Infantino of Switzerland secured
more backing than pre-vote favourite Sheik Salman bin Ibrahim al Khalifa
of Bahrain in the first round, when a two thirds majority was required
to win.
A simple majority of more than 50 per cent - 104 votes - was sufficient for victory in the second round.
