South America's Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) on Friday re-elected Paraguay's Alejandro Dominguez for a four-year term as head of the organization.

Dominquez was the unanimous choice of football chiefs from the 10 member countries voting at the organization's congress in Asuncion.

Dominquez, a 46-year-old FIFA vice-president, was first elected unopposed in 2016 after his predecessor and friend, fellow-Paraguayan Juan Angel Napout, was arrested for corruption.

All three of his predecessors are facing US indictments for corruption but Dominquez was asked in March by the CONMEBOL board to stand again "to give continuity and deepen the development of South American football."

Since taking over, Dominguez has been praised for his open management style. Revenues are up, and US audit firms are used to validate the organization's accounts.

FIFA chief Gianni Infantino, who is attending the organization's 69th congress, said he was proud to be able to witness "the serenity, the solidarity, the unity and the strength of the Conmebol.

"Football is again the central concern of Conmebol," he said.
