Bahrain's Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa was voted the new president of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) in Kualalumpur today, replacing disgraced ex-leader Mohamed bin Hammam. He will complete bin Hammam's truncated term, which finishes in 2015. Sheikh Salman beat UAE rival Yousef Al Serkal and Thailand's Worawi Makudi in the first round of voting when he gathered 33 of the 46 ballots to amass the necessary two-thirds majority.
