Chelsea's operations have been restricted after the UK government sanctioned its owner, Roman Abramovich.
This sanction was imposed because the UK government considers Abramovich to be close to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is leading the attack on Ukraine.
Over the past 10 years, Abramovich has reportedly channeled £701 million (approximately Rp13.13 trillion) into Chelsea. This funding is the largest among "The Big Six," or the six biggest clubs in the English Premier League.
This figure surpasses the funding provided by Sheikh Mansour to his club, Manchester City, which amounted to £684 million over the same period. This is despite the Abu Dhabi prince possessing a vast fortune from oil and gas businesses.
The next two clubs were funded by US conglomerates. Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke has spent £211 million over the past 10 years, while Liverpool owner John Henry has channeled £110 million.
The other two clubs, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, are not recorded as having received funding from their owners in the last 10 years.
Currently, the UK government allows Chelsea to play but prohibits any new income for the club. This means no ticket sales; only season ticket holders can watch Chelsea matches.
