“We sincerely apologize for making our supporters uncomfortable “said FC Seoul in a statement. “We made sure from the start that they had nothing to do with sex toys,” said the club.
But many of these dolls, placed in the stadium stands for the championship match behind closed doors against Gwangju Sunday (won 1-0), were dressed in t-shirts bearing the logo of a manufacturer of sexual articles.
And other dolls held posters advertising the company and its products …
The dolls, mainly representing women, wore a protective mask and were distant from each other according to the rules of distancing aimed at limiting the spread of Covid-19.
According to the club, the supplier of the dolls had them before made available to the company distributing sextoys, which would explain the inappropriate advertisements.
Contacted by AFP, the two companies were not immediately available to confirm or deny these remarks.
The South Korean Premier League K-League has resumed May 8 after more than two months off to stem the pandemic.
To fill their stands despite the closed doors, most clubs used posters, banners or cardboard effigies of supporters.
