South Korean club FC Seoul could be fined or docked a minimum of five points for using sex dolls instead of mannequins to fill empty seats during a league match on Sunday.
The K-League has said its disciplinary committee will look into the incident, Yonhap news agency reported.
The club placed the dolls, some of which were dressed in the team's colours while others held placards supporting the side, in the stands to make up for the absence of fans due to Covid-19 restrictions.
However, viewers watching on television quickly pointed out that they looked more like sex dolls than mannequins and that some of them were holding placards bearing the name of an adult toy manufacturer.
Seoul, who beat Gwangju 1-0, could be docked a minimum of five points or face a fine of at least five million won ($4,073.9), Yonhap said.
The club apologised on Monday, saying they had failed to check the consignment sent by the supplier and that they were not aware the dolls were "adult products".
“We would like to apologise to the fans,” FC Seoul said in a statement on Instagram. “We are deeply sorry about the mannequins that were seated during the May 17, 2020 match.
"However, we would like to clarify that while these mannequins have been made to look and feel like real humans, they are not for sexual use — as confirmed by the manufacturer.
"We had them supplied by a company... which claimed they are clothing mannequins. We double- [and] triple-checked that they are not for sexual use."
