For several weeks Chelsea fans were unable to purchase the club's kits and merchandise via the official online store. The club's previous owner, Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK government - having been added to the list of Russian oligarch's who have had their assets frozen - meaning that no merchandise could be sold.
As part of the UK government's response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Chelsea were unable to sell any kits or new tickets. However, fans will be relieved to learn that this is no longer the case.
A consortium led by Todd Boehly has agreed a £4.25bn purchase of the club which brings an end to Abramovich's reign which began in 2003. Now under new ownership, fans are able to buy the official club merchandise and tickets once again.
