The Football Association will battle FIFA in court next month over its punishment in relation to Chelsea’s transfer ban.

FIFA says the fact that the English champion “accepted its responsibility” for breaking transfer rules was a factor in the choice to fine it 370,000 Swiss francs ($380,000).

FIFA on Wednesday said that they have upheld Chelsea’s one-year transfer ban but the English Premier League club will be able to register youth players during the period following an appeal.

Chelsea have appealed a FIFA ban prohibiting them from signing players over the next two transfer windows, local media reported on Tuesday.
