Chelsea Transfer Ban Appeal Starts

By Daily Sports on April 11, 2019

On Thursday, lawyers representing Chelsea will begin the appeal against the club's transfer ban for breaking FIFA rules over the signing of foreign U18 players.

In March, FIFA banned Chelsea from registering new players for the next two transfer windows, through to January 2020.

Chelsea were charged after FIFA said it found breaches in 29 cases of 92 investigated.

FIFA bans the sale of U18s to different countries unless they meet strict criteria. It brought in the rules to help protect children from exploitation and trafficking.

The Premier League club deny any wrongdoing and have appealed against the decision and the £460,000 fine.

The hearing is due to start at 8am - with no decision expected until later this month.

So far, FIFA has refused to freeze the transfer ban during the appeal process, a decision which left Chelsea “astonished”.

“So far as the club is aware, in all previous cases where a registration ban has been imposed by FIFA, a decision has also been made to suspend the sanction until the appeal process has been completed,” the club said in a statement last month.

“In this case, Chelsea considers that it is being treated inconsistently in comparison with other European clubs.” (SkySports)
