Chelsea was hit with 74 charges by the Football Association on Thursday after the London club was accused of breaching regulations covering soccer agents, intermediaries and third-party investment in players spanning more than a decade.

The FA did not elaborate on the charges, but Chelsea said the matters were ¡°self-reported¡± by the club after the change in ownership in May 2022.

¡°The conduct that is the subject of the charges ranges from 2009 to 2022 and primarily relates to events which occurred between the 2010-11 to 2015-16 playing seasons,¡± the FA said in a statement.
