November 23, 2022: Japanese football fans did something unexpectedly classy at the end of the inaugural match of the FIFA World Cup 2022 at Doha's Al Bayt Stadium.



In a video that recently went viral on social media, spectators from the island nation were seen picking up all the trash and leaving the stadium spick and span after the opening match between Ecuador and host Qatar on Sunday.

Not just one or two people, but a large number of Japanese spectators volunteered in cleaning the seating area of the 68,000+ capacity stadium.



They also picked up flags that were left on the ground by other spectators and either put them on the stadium's chairs or took them with them.
