Putrajaya police chief Mohd Fadzil Ali said that the five, aged between 23 and 28, were private sector employees from Selangor who travelled to Putrajaya using a work pass but took the opportunity to play football after working hours.
He said police had conducted an inspection between 8pm and 11.45pm after spotting a group of people playing football at the synthetic football field in Presint 8, near here.
Putrajaya is currently placed under the recovery movement control order.
Earlier, a Twitter user @KhairilAnuar in his tweet stated that five individuals were compounded after playing football because they were found not to be residents of Putrajaya.
