The sight of Japanese fans at a World Cup bagging trash after a match \u002D\u002D win or lose \u002D\u002D always surprises non\u002DJapanese.
Japanese fans clear rubbish from the stands during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Group E match between Germany and Japan at Khalifa International Stadium on Nov. 23, 2022 in Doha, Qatar.A spokeswoman for the Japanese Football Association said it’s supplying 8,000 trash bags to help fans pick up after matches with “thank you” messages on the outside written in Arabic, Japanese, and English.
Many Japanese elementary schools don’t have janitors, so some of the clean-up work is left to the young students. Office workers often dedicate an hour to spruce up their areas. Prior to the 2020 Olympics, Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike cautioned that visiting fans would have to learn to clean up after themselves. However, the problem never materialized after fans from abroad were banned from attending the Games because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
