		</div><p>Gianni Infantino is FIFA&#8217;s ninth president after being elected at the world governing body&#8217;s extraordinary congress in Zurich today.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>A simple majority of more than 50% &#8211; 104 votes &#8211; was sufficient for victory in the second round.</p>
<p>And Infantino secured 115 votes to Sheikh Salman&#8217;s 88 to become the second successive Swiss president, after Sepp Blatter.<br />
The 45-year-old lawyer is from Brig in the Valais region of Switzerland, less than six miles from Blatter&#8217;s hometown of Visp.</p>
