Gianni Infantino was re-elected for a second term as president of football's international governing body FIFA on Wednesday, June 5th, having run unopposed.
Infantino, who was first elected in February 2016 after Sepp Blatter was ousted amidst corruption investigations, will now run until 2023.
Ahead of his re-election as FIFA president today, Gianni Infantino said he has banished scandals and corruption from the soccer body despite losing members of his council for misconduct.
"For those who love me, for those who hate me,” Infantino said. “I love everyone today.”
“Remember the state of FIFA at that congress,” Infantino said.
“Well the last three years and four months have certainly not been perfect. I have made mistakes certainly and I try to improve and do this better but today on an election day nobody talks about crisis. Nobody talks about rebuilding FIFA from scratch. Nobody talks about scandals. Nobody talks about corruption.”
