Chelsea fc transfer ban news
Chelsea FC has been banned from signing new players for the next two transfer windows, including the upcoming summer transfer window, by FIFA due to breaches of the organization's transfer regulations.
Here are the key details of the ban:
- The ban was imposed by FIFA's Disciplinary Committee on December 20, 2019, and will run from June 12, 2020, to June 30, 2021.
- Chelsea FC is prohibited from registering new players for the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons.
- The club is also fined 600,000 Swiss francs (approximately £450,000) for breaching FIFA's regulations on the transfer of players under the age of 18.
- Chelsea FC has 30 days to appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
The ban was imposed due to Chelsea FC's failure to comply with FIFA's regulations on the transfer of players under the age of 18. Specifically, the club was found to have breached Article 19 of the FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players, which prohibits the transfer of players under the age of 18 unless certain conditions are met.
Chelsea FC has been accused of breaching these regulations on several occasions, including the transfer of Bertrand Traore from Auxerre in 2014 and the transfer of Wallace from Fluminense in 2013.
The ban is a significant blow to Chelsea FC, which has been one of the most successful clubs in the Premier League in recent years. The club has won several major trophies, including the Champions League, Europa League, and Premier League title.
The ban will have significant implications for Chelsea FC's transfer strategy in the coming years, and the club will need to rely on its existing squad and potentially loan players from other clubs to compete in the Premier League and other competitions.
It's worth noting that the ban does not affect Chelsea FC's ability to sell players or to sign players who are over the age of 18. However, the club will not be able to register any new players who are under the age of 18 or who have been registered with another club in the past.
The ban has also raised questions about the future of Chelsea FC's youth academy, which has produced several talented young players in recent years. The club will need to find alternative ways to develop its young players and to integrate them into the first team.
