Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich has been sanctioned by the UK government as part of its response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The 55-year-old Russian oligarch is alleged to have strong ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, which he has denied.
His attempt to sell Chelsea has been halted by the UK government following the sanctions.
Chelsea FC cannot sell any more tickets for games, its merchandise shop will be closed, and it will be unable to buy or sell players on the transfer market.
The UK government said Mr Abramovich, who has an estimated net worth of £9.4bn, is «one of the few oligarchs from the 1990s to maintain prominence under Putin».

Chelsea sale money should be used for the welfare of the Ukranians.
Stop spreading lies. Anywhere else the term is businessman but in Russia it's oligarch? Stop the bullshit
just like to Highlight the sort of club CHELSKI are …in 97 I met an old white haired man called HARRY DUNN on a boat going n Ireland for the milk cup ..he says he was a chelsea scout and had the official card because he was working for Chelsea Fc….offered me a trial when I got home to scotland at his EDINBURGH FLAT …anyway once it came out the woodwork he was a notorious peodophile I got in contact with the fa the police and eventually got an Apology from Bruce Buck and eva Barry….they offered me to help to talk to the clubs psychiatrist….I told her I cudnt remember leaving Dunns flat and feared I might have been spiked and god knows what went on….her reply was "you have a great imagination" I applied for compensation thought clubs insurers I was told I had no case ….CHELSEA FC EVERYBODyY.
Go Fukk your thoughts
the club should be seized by the government and sold.!!!! former KGB thugs who used stolen and embezzled money from the Russian people should not be allowed to benefit.
Money talks and the British government officials are sticking their heads up their arses.
I never trusted that slippery mug from the moment he landed, you would never get that much clout and bees n honey in Russia without being dodgy, Yeltsin Putin Medvedev, well now who's mugging who mr abramovic
This is not good
Simply because he's Russian~ and he's rich
Roman Abramovich,, you should have balls, not just money
Man City owners?
Fake news
I don’t think people understand what roman leaving Chelsea means even if roman was owner for the next 20 years it would have been hard to keep up the level of trophies we have won
I assume the money won't get returned to russia in the future, just yoinked, so brave, let's recolonize lybia agane, oh wait, it's still a shithole after the deposition of gaddafi
Russia invaded Ukraine and UK invaded Chelsea
End of Europe Golden period…
This war split world in two sides…
So the Russians poisoned their own oligarch. Tough times for Roman the football lover.
Sounds like theft in a way but what do i know?
remember that he was poisoned when he was doing peace talks in ukraine
No sanction when the Chelsea owner funded to build settler houses on occupied Palestinian territory that’s ok but because your a friend of Putin we’re going to sanction you what double standard the western world have.
Britain should first opologise to the Palestinian people for providing a safe heaven for Elbit Systems to supply Israeli with weaponised drone to bomb Occupied Palestinian cities. I think western country should take a look at the mirror just for min. Russian is just doing what the western world have been doing.
That's an easy answer,he's ritch and Russian and dare not speak out against Putin scared for his life,is Abromovitch.He must have family in Russia,"poor" man! He's between devil and a light blue sea!
Roman only lead Ukraine, you can help .. the impossible is possible
Russians don't care about it
Abramowitch denies, denies, denies… Smart man!
He make very good Player the last year is nice. He and & f.lampard & th.Tuchel. well done Abramovich.
Abrahmovich is putin pet dog .
Chelsea fc should be put in administration
US and UK have lost it. They are cannot out a lid on the mistakes of themselves and NATO and are ridiculously sanctioning individuals who invested with them.
PEACEFUL CHELSEA SUPPORTERS MADRID HAS BEEN HUMILIATED BY BARÇA AND HAS ALREADY ENTERED THE FALL YOU JUST HAVE TO REMEMBER IT SO THEY PLAY BADLY
All this time and now Britain takes action on these Oligarchs , mmmmmm got a clear conscious now have we , lets not forget what Blair and bush got away with not much difference between them and Putin
Ждите теракты и заказные убийства политиков от олигархов, так просто это не закончится!
Why is it that Israel that infers and genocides palestine PEOPLE is not wearing sanctions….??real TERRORIST, nopolitics in football is BULLSHIT… FVCKOFF FIFA… RACISM ORGANIZATION…
Libya ??syria ?? ?? somalia iraq and other parts of the world do the would remember what USA did there. USA makes wars for money. The world have to come together as one we go fight mama fucks USA ?? bad people USA .the games USA r playing games ?
I'm happy there are so many positive comments about Roman. I understand the political expedience of sanctioning someone known to be connected to Putin, but unlike when scumbags get sanctioned, I don't feel any schadenfreude about this.
Has Roman Abramovich started the war with Ukrain ?
