<p>Sepp Blatter has been re-elected for a fifth term as FIFA president despite the crisis that has struck the world governing body this week.</p>
<p>Blatter saw off the challenge from Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein of Jordan after a week which saw seven FIFA officials arrested and 18 people connected to football indicted on corruption charges by the US justice department.</p>
<p>Blatter won the first round by 133 votes to 73 and, after Prince Ali decided to withdraw ahead of the second round, the 79-year-old was installed as FIFA president for another four years.</p>
<p>The outcome of the first-round vote meant Prince Ali succeeded in preventing Blatter from winning a two-thirds majority, but the 39-year-old pulled out of the contest rather than force a second round of voting.</p>
<p>His supporters had been keen to get past the 70-vote mark as that would be seen to have delivered a bloody nose to Blatter.</p>
<p>The victory is also set to see further protests from UEFA – the first action has come from David Gill, the English Football Association vice-chairman who will reject the post of British vice-president as he does not want to serve under Blatter.</p>
<p>Gill will not attend the post-Congress executive committee meeting on Saturday where a decision is set to be taken on the allocation of World Cup places to each confederation.</p>
