Chelsea have been banned by Fifa from signing any new players for an entire year.
The unprecedented punishment comes after world football's governing body judged them to have "induced" a young French player to breach his contract in order to move to the club last year.
Chelsea are expected to appeal the decision that blocks them from trading players in either of the next two transfer 'windows'.
The Premier League club will have to wait until January 2011 before adding new names to their lavishly-acquired squad.
FIFA's Dispute Resolution Chamber made the ruling after French club Lens complained teenage striker Gael Kakuta was encouraged to break his contract in order to move to London in 2008.
Chelsea and Kakuta were also hit with a joint £680,000 compensation fine.
In addition, Chelsea have been ordered to pay Lens £114,000 as a "training fee".
Kakuta, an 18-year-old France youth international, is also banned from playing any matches "worldwide" for four months.
Fifa's DRC clarified: "Chelsea are banned from registering any new players, either nationally or internationally, for the two next entire and consecutive registration periods following the notification of the present decision."
The club were deemed to have broken Article 17 paragraphs three and four of Fifa's Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players.
The rule reads: "It shall be presumed, unless established to the contrary, that any club signing a professional who has terminated his contract without just cause has induced that professional to commit a breach.
"The club shall be banned from registering any new players, either nationally or internationally, for two registration periods."
I Personally do not think Fifa will maintain this, this is jus tooooooo much and plus Roman Abramovich will make that whole fifa bored see fire, people will jus start having random accidents n shyt
