Chelsea Football Club has been charged by the English Football Association (FA) with 74 alleged breaches of regulations linked to payments to agents, intermediaries, and third-party investments in players between 2009 and 2022.
The charges largely cover transactions from the 2010–11 to 2015–16 seasons, during the ownership of Roman Abramovich. The club, now owned by a consortium led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, has until September 19 to formally respond.
Chelsea had previously self-reported certain payments from the Abramovich era, but the FA confirmed the case remains under review. The club also faces possible Premier League sanctions, including fines or a points deduction, if the payments were not properly declared in annual financial reports.
