"Chelsea" team suffered a setback in trying to overturn a strict FIFA penalty.
In February, it was announced that the London club would be banned from signing new players during the next two transfer windows.
This was due to violations by the "Chelsea" club in registering young talents under 18 years of age.
Today, FIFA announced that it has decided to reject the "Premier" league team's attempt to appeal this decision.
Furthermore, the 600 thousand Swiss franc fine for the English team has not been overturned.
This means that the dispute between the two parties is likely to move to the Sports Arbitration Court.
