(Reuters) - Serie A club Spezia have been banned from four transfer windows, starting in January next year, after breaching FIFA rules on signing minors, world soccer's governing body said on Friday.

Spezia, who competed in the Italian top flight for the first time last season, were also fined 500,000 Swiss francs for the offence, which involved signing minors from Nigeria.

"The protection of minors is a key objective of the regulatory framework governing the football transfer system." "We are surprised by FIFA's decision to impose this heavy transfer ban," Spezia president Philip Raymond Platek Junior said in a statement on Friday. International transfers are only permitted if the player is over the age of 18, unless one of the following criteria are met:* The transfer takes place within the European Union or European Economic Area and the player is over 16.
