Gianni Infantino will carry on as FIFA president until 2023 after running unopposed on Tuesday.
The news of his re-election was announced at FIFA Congress in Paris.
It will take Infantino up to seven years in office – 10 shy of what Sepp Blatter managed.
He was first elected in 2016 in the wake of Blatter’s downfall amid the biggest scandal in FIFA’s history.
His plans for a new 48-team World Cup were recently scrapped after talks with his advisory board.
The FIFA Congress had been due to vote on the proposals when it meets in Paris on Wednesday.
