Chelsea were charged by the Football Association on Sept 11 with 74 alleged breaches of rules related to payments to agents and intermediaries between 2009 and 2022, when the football club were owned by Roman Abramovich.

LONDON –

The alleged breaches primarily relate to events which occurred between the 2010-11 and 2015-16 seasons, the FA said in a statement, adding that the Blues have until Sept 19 to respond.

While the FA did not elaborate on the charges, Chelsea said in a separate statement that the matters were "self-reported" by the club after the change in ownership in 2022.

Russian billionaire Abramovich, who had owned Chelsea since 2003, put the London club up for sale in 2022 following sanctions after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
