Japanese fans and the team once again impress with cleanliness at the 2026 World Cup

During the 2026 World Cup, Japan continues its tradition of order and cleanliness, which is gaining recognition around the world. After the opening match against the Dutch national team, the Japanese football team left the locker room in impeccable condition, and the fans left the stadium without leaving a single piece of paper. All this pleases coach Hajime Moriyasi, who is proud of his country's image.  This is not news to the Japanese, who are accustomed to such behavior, but it can be surprising to other nations. After the draw with the Dutch, Japanese fans took to cleaning the Dallas stadium with garbage bags. Even people in wheelchairs did not avoid participating in this action. "It's part of Japanese culture that we can be proud of," Moriyasu said before the next match against Tunisia. However, not everyone sees it the same way. Moriyasu cited the opinions of Brazilian players and coaches who expressed reservations about whether such actions would take away the work of cleaning workers. "This can also explain it," the Japanese coach noted with a smile. --- ## Related Articles 1. [Eloy Room: Geef me een standbeeld!](https://oranjenet.live/nl/news/eloy-room-geef-me-een-standbeeld) 2.
