Chelsea have lodged an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport against the transfer ban issued by FIFA. “The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has registered an appeal filed by Chelsea Football Club Ltd (CFC) against the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA),” read a statement. The appeal is directed against the FIFA Appeal Committee decision dated 11 April 2019 in which CFC was declared liable for violations of the FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players. The ban prohibits Chelsea from signing players during the 2019 summer and January 2020 transfer windows. The Europa League champions have taken their case to CAS after FIFA rejected their appeal.
