IrelandChelsea FC has been fined £10 million (£11.7 million) and received a suspended two-window transfer ban after appealing a previous sanction. Initially, the club faced a suspended six-point deduction, but this was replaced during the appeal. The decision followed Chelsea's admission of 74 breaches of Football Association rules related to agents and third-party investments. The club self-reported these violations in 2022 while transitioning ownership from Roman Abramovich. The transfer ban is suspended until June 30, 2027. Chelsea stated they cooperated fully with regulators and believe the process has concluded.
