(CNN) Gianni Infantino was reelected for a second term as president of football's international governing body FIFA on Wednesday having run unopposed.

Infantino, who was first elected in February 2016 after Sepp Blatter was ousted amidst corruption investigations , will now run until at least 2023.

No vote took place amongst FIFA's 211 member federations in Paris as Infantino, a Swiss-Italian lawyer who previously served as UEFA secretary general, was the only candidate.

Before being officially reelected, Infantino spoke at length about how FIFA has turned a corner under his stewardship, transformed from "being toxic, almost criminal, to being what it should be -- an organization that develops football."
