The official statement by FIFA read, "Chelsea was found to have breached art. 19 of the Regulations in the case of twenty-nine (29) minor players and to have committed several other infringements relating to registration requirements for players. The club also breached art. 18bis of the Regulations in connection with two agreements it concluded concerning minors and which allowed it to influence other clubs in transfer-related matters."
They have imposed a complete ban on two consecutive transfer windows which implies that they cannot register new players at any given level, national or international. Chelsea's Futsal and Women teams are exempted from the ban, especially the sale of any player.
