Chelsea sponsor makes £10m decision after Roman Abramovich is sanctioned

Hyundai have become the latest company to suspend their sponsorship deal with Chelsea in the aftermath of Roman Abramovich being sanctioned by the UK government.

The punishment was handed down on Thursday and cited Abramovich's "decades" long relationship with President of Russia Vladimir Putin who is currently overseeing an invasion of Ukraine.

Abramovich has always denied these links but was still among a number of oligarchs sanctioned this week, with Chelsea now unable to operate as a business. Footballing activities and staff payments can continue as normal.
