Blatter remains in office

Sepp Blatter has been re-elected unopposed for a third term as FIFA president.

Blatter, first appointed in 1998, stood unchallenged and was unanimously voted into office by acclamation at the 208-nation Fifa Congress in Zurich.

This was what he had to say, "It is with great joy when I hear that I have the confidence of the 57th Congress giving me the mandate as FIFA president from 2007 to 2011. Thank you for your trust and putting me once again at the helm of this institution."
