Chelsea has requested that Saturday’s FA Cup quarter-final at Middlesbrough be played behind closed doors because their fans can no longer buy tickets.
The government issued a license to allow Chelsea to continue playing after freezing the assets of Russian owner Roman Abramovich.
Chelsea is not permitted to sell tickets to any of their matches under the rules of the agreement.
Middlesbrough has stated that they will fight the “bizarre” and “ironic” request “to the fullest extent feasible.”
On Wednesday, the Football Association will make a decision.
Middlesbrough, who have already eliminated Premier League giants Manchester United and Tottenham in this year’s competition, claimed the plea had “no validity whatsoever.”
“To suggest that MFC and our fans should be punished as a result is not only extremely unfair but also without any substance,” Middlesbrough said in a statement.

Chelsea Supporters Trust has asked for the proposal to be withdrawn, claiming that it “does not benefit” any fans.
