Infantino Wins FIFA Presidency
Gianni Infantino of Switzerland is the new FIFA president.
Infantino won after the organization voted a second time on Friday in Zurich.
Infantino takes over world soccer's governing body two years before the next World Cup.
FIFA is stuck in a bribery and corruption scandal from last year. Authorities in both Switzerland and the United States are investigating FIFA's finances. They are looking at how money is spent and how World Cup tournaments are awarded.
Infantino finished ahead of three other candidates. He defeated Sheikh Salman of Bahrain 115 to 88 in the second vote.
Infantino will replace Sepp Blatter, another Swiss, who was banned by FIFA's ethics committee late in 2015. He made unauthorized payments to a colleague.
Blatter led the organization since 1998 and served five terms.
Infantino is the general secretary of UEFA, the organization that runs soccer in Europe. He is 45.
Infantino spoke in Spanish, English, French and Italian during his campaign speech, appealing to FIFA members in their own languages. He promised to restore the image and respect of FIFA, saying "everyone in the world will applaud us."
Infantino will serve the remainder of Blatter's final term until May 2019. Then there will be another election.
FIFA did more on Friday than just vote for a new president. It made some anti-corruption reforms. A president can no longer serve more than three four-year terms. There will be independent spending reviews. And the executive committee will now be called the FIFA Council, and reserve more positions for women.
The next World Cup will be held two years from now, in Russia.

70后光头"抽签哥"——史上最年轻国际足联主席
来自瑞士的詹尼·因凡蒂诺(Gianni Infantino)当选国际足联新任主席。
周五苏黎世举行的国际足联第二轮投票中，因凡蒂诺胜出。
距下届世界杯只剩两年之际，因凡蒂诺成为国际足联的掌门人。
去年国际足联深陷贿赂、腐败丑闻。之后瑞士和美国当局都开始调查国际足联的财务状况。他们审核了国际足联的每一笔花费以及世界杯比赛的奖励机制。
因凡蒂诺以领先其他三名候选人的优势结束了此次投票。第二轮投票中更是以115:88的票数击败了巴林的谢赫·萨勒曼（Sheikh Salman）。
因凡蒂诺将接替同为瑞士人的塞普·布拉特（Sepp Blatter）的位置。2015年末，国际足联道德委员会对布拉特发出禁令，原因是向同事支付了一笔未经授权的款项。
自1998年以来，布拉特连任五届国际足联主席。
现年45岁的因凡蒂诺是欧洲足联秘书长。欧足联主要负责欧洲足球的各项事务。
因凡蒂诺在竞选演讲中分别用西班牙语、英语、法语和意大利语进行发言，以此吸引国际足联各个成员国的注意。他承诺恢复国际足联的形象并重新赢得世界的尊重，表示“让每个人都为我们鼓掌”。
因凡蒂诺将接任巴拉特余下的任期至2019年5月。届时国际足联会再次进行新一轮选举。
周五，国际足联除了选出新任主席外，还进行了一些反腐败的改革。新任国际足联主席的任期不得超过三届，每届为4年。另外，还将会对经济支出进行独立审查。同时现在的执行委员会将改称为国际足联理事会并为女性保留更多位置。
两年后的下届世界杯将在俄罗斯举行。
