Roman Abramovich: Sanction of Chelsea owner by UK government halts club's sale

Roman Abramovich's attempt to sell Chelsea has been halted after the oligarch was sanctioned by the UK government as part of its response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The Russian, who has owned the club since 2003, put the European champions up for sale after the threat of sanctions was raised in Parliament.

The club's seizure also means Chelsea cannot sell further match tickets.

The move comes to stop Abramovich, 55, from making money from Chelsea.

The government says it will issue a special licence that will allow fixtures to be fulfilled, staff to be paid and existing ticket-holders to attend matches.

Season-ticket holders can still attend games for which they have tickets but the club cannot now sell any more tickets.

The club's merchandise shop will also be shut.

More to follow.

Una say wahala be like wetin again? Russians have not seen anything yet, who ever is in support of Russia's inversion of Ukraine deserves no mercy, not even from God.
Just yesterday, those foolish cowards called Russia soldiers bombed children's hospital, what has children hospital got to do with war? Maybe the fool thinks the world will clap for him for killing innocent children, Putin must surly pay for all the atrocities he's committed in Ukraine, he will surly die in a very painful way, his supporters all over the world will die a very painful death just the way those pregnant women and children died inside the hospital he bombed yesterday.
