Gianni Infantino, the president of the world football organization (FIFA), received a vote of confidence for the third time.
According to the report of a foreign news agency, Infantino was elected president until 2027 after receiving a unanimous vote of confidence. He was declared successful for the position unopposed in the meeting of the Football Congress.
Gianni, 52, from Switzerland, succeeded Sepp Blatter as president in 2016, his third four-year term.
According to FIFA rules, a president can hold office for three terms, but Infantino is paving the way to become president until December 2031. He contends that his first three-year term was not completed, so it should not be counted.
