FIFA has lifted a transfer ban on Spanish club Athletic Club, allowing them to register new players after a brief administrative issue. The ban, imposed due to various infractions, was set to last until January 2028 but has now been resolved without sporting or financial consequences. The club will be removed from FIFA's blacklist within five days.
The Premier League has fined Chelsea FC £10.75 million and imposed transfer restrictions following breaches of financial and youth development rules. The sanctions include a suspended one-year ban on first-team signings and an immediate nine-month ban on academy registrations. Chelsea self-reported the issues and cooperated fully with the investigation.

The club anticipates the issue, related to a player rights discrepancy, will be resolved within days. This follows a recent positive outcome in registering defender Aymeric Laporte.
