South Korean football club FC Seoul have apologised after using sex dolls to fill their empty stadium for a match on Sunday.
The K-League resumed earlier this month following the coronavirus pandemic but fans are not permitted to watch games at stadiums.
Clubs have attempted to improve the atmosphere at their grounds with pictures of supporters and by using artificial crowd noises.
But FC Seoul inadvertently used sex dolls during their game against Gwangju FC following a ‘misunderstanding’ with their mannequin supplier.

“We would like to apologise to our fans. We’re genuinely sorry to our fans about the installation of the mannequins at our game on May 17,” FC Seoul said in a statement.
“We confirmed from the start that the mannequins we installed in the stands had no relation to the adult toys, even though they do indeed resemble real humans.”
