Departed from the World Cup, the Japanese left a clean locker room and a message in Russian
And the fans, despite the departure of their team, again collected trash in the stadium.
On July 2, in Rostov-on-Don, the 1 / 8 World Cup 2018 final match was held, in which the Belgian team met with Japan. The Belgians were considered the favorite of the meeting, but at the beginning of the second half, they began to lose with the 0: 2 score. In the end, they were able to change the course of the game and still win the last minute of the added time - 3: 2. Belgium advanced to the 1 / 4 finals, and Japan flew out of the tournament.
FIFA coordinator Priscilla Janssens later tweeted that after such a defeat, the Japanese players stayed on the field to thank their fans for their support. Also, players put things in order on the bench and in his dressing room, leaving a note in Russian with the words "Thank you." A few hours later, Janssens removed the tweet for unknown reasons.
Japanese fans also helped clean the Rostov Arena. They brought bags with them and collected garbage from the stands. Similarly, fans of the Japanese national team have already arrived after the group stage match in Saransk.
In the group stage, Japanese defender Maya Yoshida said that the players were used to cleaning up after themselves.
I can only say that in the locker room we have cleaner than in the locker rooms of clubs [English] Premier League. But really, we believe that we need to clean up after ourselves. We are playing football here, fighting on the field, but also representing Japan. And should do it with dignity. Fans have demonstrated this.
