How UK’s latest sanction on Roman Abramovich will affect Chelsea
The United Kingdom has slammed Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich with sanctions as a further response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
These latest sanctions will have short and long-term effects on Chelsea including their EPL game against Norwich tonight.
The sanction means they cannot sell tickets, they cannot sell merchandise, they cannot operate in transfer markets, and things are totally up in the air.
See the list below:
-Offering new contracts to players or staff – Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen, and Cesar Azpilicueta see their deals expire on June 30
-Conducting any official transfer business
-Selling new tickets to any game for any of their teams – including women and junior sides (season ticket holders and existing ticket holders only)
-Selling merchandise to fans (existing merchandise can be sold via third parties)
-No stadium work or redevelopment
-Spending £500k on security, steward and catering costs per home match and £20k expenses per away games
