Chelsea hit with 74 charges by FA

Chelsea have been hit with 74 charges by the Football Association.

The charges relate to alleged breaches of the FA’s agent regulations and third-party investment in players.

The alleged breaches took place between 2009 and 2022, when the club was owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich.

They primarily relate to events which occurred between the 2010-11 and 2015-16 seasons.

Chelsea said the issues were self-declared after the new owners discovered “incomplete financial reporting” when reviewing the club’s activity during the takeover process.

The Premier League club added: “We will continue working collaboratively with the FA to conclude this matter as swiftly as possible.”

The club has until 19 September to respond to the charges, the FA said.
