Belgian club Anderlecht have been fined £155,000 by FIFA for breaching rules on the transfers of U18 players.

The club have been found guilty on four counts alongside the Belgian FA (the KVBV) which has been fined £178,000 for breaching the same rules. 

FIFA released a statement reading: "The protection of minors is a key element in FIFA's overall regulatory framework relating to the transfer of players, and the effective enforcement of these rules is paramount, as has also been confirmed on various occasions by the Court of Arbitration for Sport."

Both Anderlecht and the KVBV have said they will appeal.
