Reported that Chelsea have been FIFA's preliminary investigation accused them of FIFA 18 Coins contracting 25 foreign players under the age of 18 violated the rules. The number of cases will rise, FIFA now have the right to impose a transfer ban on Chelsea punishment.

In September, FIFA claimed they were investigating the problems that Chelsea's affiliates had brought in young players from abroad, making the Blues the first British club to face FIFA. Prior to Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico have therefore been investigated. Both of them were punished for not being able to sign up for two transfer windows, but Real was commuted on appeal.

The current Chelsea survey, conducted by Fifa's transfer matching system oversight department, first uncovered Chelsea's problems with the introduction of Bertrand-Traoré, the Burkina Faso striker, who was removed on January 1, 2014 Chelsea signed when he passed his 18th birthday, but in January 2016 Fifa found that there was a photo showing Traore on behalf of Chelsea on 23 October 2011 in an "unofficial" match against Arsenal At that time, he was only 16 years old.

Under the rules, clubs can not sign players under 18 from abroad unless their parents immigrate or have their players and clubs within 50 kilometers of the border for reasons unrelated to football. The only exceptions are players aged 16 to 18 who move between the EU or the EEA. Traore joined Lyon last summer, and he did not meet those rules.

Fifa has been in contact with Chelsea and the FA and they hope the FA will provide facts and figures for the 25 players - and possibly others - such as registration details and the races they have played, and the current survey is still in its infancy , But is expected to move quickly in the coming months. When the investigation is completed, they will submit the evidence to the independent panel and they will come to a conclusion. If Chelsea were found to be at fault, they also had a chance to appeal to FIFA and the International Court of Arbitration.
