Turkish club Fenerbahce this week took the unusual step of banning all adult MALES from their Sukru Saracoglu stadium.

The Super Liga leaders refused to allow men in for one match after they came under fire for swearing in what is one of Europe's most hostile arenas.

However, the absence of testosterone from the stands didn't affect the home side.

Roared on by women and children, they ran out comfortable 4-0 winners against Akhisar Belediye on Friday.

And curiously, this isn't the first time they have gone down such a route. Back in 2011, Fener hosted Manisaspor and handed free tickets to women and children after the Turkish FA banned men following a pre-season match against Shakhtar Donetsk.
