Aleksander Ceferin won re-election as UEFA president through 2027 without any challengers.
Ceferin was first elected in 2016, and in 2019 he was re-elected for a second four-year term.
His most recent contract extension was approved on Wednesday at the UEFA Congress in Lisbon.
The single candidate for the elections was a Slovenian, as had been announced in January.

Ceferin’s second term was not without its challenges, including the coronavirus pandemic, which saw Euro 2020 delayed by a year.
He and UEFA also saw off the initial threat of the independent European Super League.
European football’s governing body banned Russia last year following the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
The coming years will see the introduction of tweaks UEFA has made to the format of the Champions League, its flagship club competition.
