Danish side FC Midtjylland have installed giant screens in the parking lot of their MCH Arena to allow fans to watch matches from the their cars when the Superliga resumes following the suspension due to the coronavirus outbreak.
In what the league leaders described as the best possible alternative to a full stadium, players inside the empty facility will also feel the presence of 10,000 fans with live footage of the car park screened inside the venue.
"We're working hard to create the best possible experience," Midtjylland's marketing director Preben Rokkjaer was quoted as saying by the BBC.
"The coronavirus does not change that, it just provides some other preconditions."
The club said more than 2,000 of their 12,000 parking spaces will be opened up around the club's stadium and fans will also be able to access TV commentary through their car radios.
They added that the success of the initiative in the first game will determine whether more spots can be offered to fans.
The Danish Superliga has been suspended indefinitely due to the flu-like virus which has infected almost 2.4 million people globally causing over 164,000 deaths.
Denmark has more than 7,300 cases. Rokkjaer said the club were in touch with the police, the Herning Municipality and the stadium authorities to create a safe framework and provide security for all fans.
The BBC reported that the Superliga plans to restart on 17 May with the aim to conclude the season by the end of July.
Meanwhile, Turkmenistan rebooted its domestic football season Sunday, with fans returning to stadiums in one of the few countries yet to declare a case of coronavirus.
Around 300 people attended a top-of-the table clash between last season's champions Altyn Asyr and league leaders Kopetdag in a 20,000-capacity stadium in the capital Ashgabat.
The two teams played out an attritional 1-1 draw with both goals coming in the second half.
Like several other fans interviewed by AFP, none of whom wore masks, Murad, a 60-year-old Kopetdag fan, said he had no fear of the coronavirus pandemic and planned to continue attending games."Sport kills all viruses," he joked.
"When your favourite team wins, it lifts your immunity!"
