The English club Chelsea is facing new official accusations from the Football Association, which included 74 violations related to intermediary files and third-party investments in player transactions, issues that date back to previous periods between 2009 and 2022.

Most of the violations mentioned in the FA's statement focused on the seasons from 2010-2011 to 2015-2016, a period that witnessed intensive activity from the London club in the transfer market and the acquisition of several prominent names.

The Football Association has granted Chelsea until September 19 to officially respond to these accusations before proceeding with accountability measures that could open the door to multiple penalties.

Potential penalties, as clarified by sources, include imposing a hefty financial fine, depriving the club of registering new players for a specified period, in addition to the possibility of deducting points from its tally in the Premier League.

Despite the scale of the accusations, the Football Association has not yet announced any actual punitive decision, contenting itself with confirming the opening of an extensive investigation file, while stressing the necessity for the club to have the right to respond.

These developments come at a time when Chelsea is undergoing a rebuilding phase at both the administrative and technical levels, which means that any strict decision could exacerbate the challenges faced by the London team in the new season.
