Farook said: “Someone has convinced me that this is a normal situation. These Japanese fans have decided to clean up the stands. It’s not even their game!”
“When I asked them, ‘Why are you cleaning up things that have nothing to do with you?’, one replied, ‘Japanese people don’t leave their garbage. We respect this place.'” he said.
This cleaning seems to be reflected in Japanese culture, where fans have previously cleaned up their trash at events like the last World Cup.
According to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), on June 19, 2018, Japan defeated Colombia 2-1 and became the first Asian team to defeat a South American team at the World Cup. After the match, the Japanese fans also collected the trash in the stands with the trash bags they brought.
