Chelsea have been handed a £10 million fine and a suspended two-window registration ban by the Football Association after being found guilty of breaching rules governing payments made to agents over a 13-year period spanning 2009 to 2022.

The suspended ban means Chelsea are not immediately prevented from registering new players, but the punishment could be activated if the club commits further violations.

The FA's ruling covers a lengthy stretch of activity at Stamford Bridge, encompassing multiple eras of ownership and squad-building at the club.
