In a statement from the English Football Association (FA), “After constructive negotiations, the club gave up its request. The FA agreed with Chelsea, the Premier League management and the Premier League to find a solution that would allow both sanctions to be followed and Chelsea fans to enter the matches and away fans to enter Stamford Bridge Stadium. He’s talking to the government.” it was said.
Chelsea, as the reason for its application, showed that it was unfair to Chelsea fans who bought tickets before the sanctions, that the previously reserved 4,620 tickets were not allowed to be sold because they were seen as a source of income for the club.
After Russia’s attack on Ukraine, the British government’s sanctions against 7 oligarchs, including Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, caused the English club to be subject to many sanctions. Chelsea, which was given the right to pay salaries and compete in the league with a special license granted by the government, was prohibited from making transfers, signing new contracts, selling tickets, generating income from licensed products, while bank accounts and credit cards belonging to the club were frozen. Abramovich was stripped of all his powers at the club.
