US: Japan Fans Clean Stadium After Match As AT&T Stadium Turned Into Scene Of Respect.

Arlington, United States - June 14, 2026 Video filmed by X user OinsideUT shows Japanese supporters remaining in their seats at AT&T Stadium long after the final whistle, carefully cleaning up the stadium stands. Fans wearing blue Japan jerseys, including one with the number 20, are seen bending over rows of dark seats, collecting litter and placing it into large light-blue plastic bags. The same bags that were waved during the match as makeshift flags and banners are now being used to gather trash. Other supporters wearing orange jerseys and casual clothing move through the aisles as they continue cleaning their section. Below them, the stadium’s green field remains visible, with staff and a few remaining figures on the pitch while the crowd gradually thins out across the massive venue. The footage captures a well-known tradition among Japanese fans following Japan’s 2-2 draw against the Netherlands in the Group F opener on June 14, 2026. Supporters brought blue bags to AT&T Stadium, using them both for cheering during the match and for cleaning afterward, leaving their section spotless. The gesture has become a recognized part of Japanese fan culture at major tournaments since 1998, earning widespread attention for discipline and respect toward stadium venues. The match, played in the large NFL stadium, ended with Japan twice coming back against a strong Dutch side to secure an important point.
