Gianni Infantino is new FIFA president
Gianni Infantino has won the race for the FIFA presidency after clinching an outright majority in the second round of voting.
The Swiss becomes the permanent replacement for Sepp Blatter, who was forced to resign from world football's governing body last year amid allegations of corruption.
The candidates needed an outright majority of 104 among the 207 national associations at FIFA's congress in Zurich, Switzerland.
Infantino, UEFA's general secretary, got 115 votes, beating pre-vote favourite Sheikh Salman, president of the Asian Football Confederation, into second place with 88.
He said: "I cannot express my feelings in this moment."
"We will restore the image of FIFA and everyone in the world will applaud us. We are finally going to ensure that we can once again focus on the beautiful game of football."
Prince Ali bin al Hussein, president of the Jordan Football Association, won four votes in the second round, and former FIFA deputy secretary general Jerome Champagne got zero.
Infantino has been UEFA general secretary since 2009.
The 45-year-old was backed both by UEFA and the English FA.
Infantino has promised a 90-day overhaul of FIFA.
