The behaviour of Japanese fans at the 2018 FIFA World Cup should be an example for the UK to follow, according to a 1 July opinion piece in the
Crewe & Nantwich Guardian.
In the piece, the writer detailed a trip to Alderley Park in Cheshire during which they spotted litter and cigarette butts discarded around flower beds, and compared this to the way Japan fans pick up their rubbish at the end of football games and take it with them.
Fans of the Japanese side made headlines around the world when they were filmed tidying up around their seats after Japan’s games.
