ZURICH: Sepp Blatter was re-elected as FIFA president on Thursday for another four-year term. He was unopposed.

The 71-year-old Blatter was approved by acclamation by the 207 associations present at the FIFA Congress in Zurich. He will remain in charge of world soccer's governing body until 2011. No other candidates challenged the incumbent. In April, 66 member associations from the six confederations nominated Blatter for a third term as FIFA president.— AP
