The absence of supporters in stadiums looks like it will be commonplace as football emerges from the coronavirus crisis, but one South Korean team has found a novel way of filling their thousands of empty seats โ sex dolls.
Football is slowly emerging from its COVID-19 hibernation and the German Bundesliga resumed on Saturday with a full schedule of socially distant football. But even with the return of the beautiful game, some fans couldn’t ignore the fact that holding games in cavernous, empty stadia feels a little, well, wrong.
However, FC Seoul came up with an unorthodox solution to this problem ahead of Sunday’s fixture with Gwangju FC, as they filled their stadium with eerily-lifelike mannequins โ which many have suggested on social media are in fact life-size sex dolls โ some of whom were reportedly holding placards promoting a local adult shop.
