Chelsea were fined 10 million euros ($13.4 million) and handed a suspended two-window transfer ban on Friday after winning a partial appeal against sanctions imposed for multiple breaches of Football Association rules.
The Premier League club had originally received a suspended six-point deduction in addition to the fine, but an appeal board replaced the points sanction with the suspended transfer ban.
Chelsea admitted to 74 breaches of FA regulations involving agents, intermediaries and third-party ownership and investment arrangements related to player transfers.
Owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital self-reported the breaches to football authorities in 2022 while they were in the process of buying the club from Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich.
The suspended six-point deduction, which was due to remain in effect until the end of June 2027, was imposed by the independent regulatory commission that initially heard the case. Chelsea appealed that sanction.
