Cleaning Up Garbage After Games Widely Reported Around the World

The foreign press reported that Japanese supporters were picking up garbage at stadiums after the Japanese team played matches at the World Cup in Russia. Japanese supporters have been doing this since the Japanese team first participated in the World Cup held in France in 1998. Though some people criticized this behavior on social media by questioning whether it was “right to take away work from cleaning staff,” supporters around the world are now also starting to clean up themselves after a match. This time, the foreign media reported that Japanese staff cleaned up their lockers after matches.
