FIFA has banned Chelsea from signing players until the 2020 offseason transfer window for breaching rules covering young players.

The Premier League club has the right to appeal against the sanction, which covers the next two transfer windows and also includes a fine of 600,000 Swiss francs ($600,000).

FIFA punished Chelsea for signing 29 players under the age of 18.
