SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korean football club FC Seoul have apologised after they used sex dolls instead of mannequins to fill seats during a K League match at their empty stadium on Sunday.

Seoul's match against Gwangju was being played without spectators due to ongoing measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
