A government statement said: “Given the significant impact that today’s sanction would have on Chelsea football club and the potential knock-on effects of this, the government has this morning published a license which authorizes several football-related activities to continue at Chelsea”


“This includes permissions for the club to continue playing matches and other football-related activity which will, in turn, protect the premier league, the wider football pyramid, loyal fans and other clubs. This license will only allow certain explicitly named actions to ensure the designated individual is not able to circumvent UK sanctions. The license will be kept under constant review and we will work closely with the football authorities”


Five hours after the news broke out, Chelsea finally reacted by saying: “we will fulfil our men’s and women’s team fixtures today against Norwich and west ham, respectively and intend to engage in discussions with the UK Government regarding the scope of the license”
