One Japanese female soccer fan gives a brief interview in the clip, saying, “Why are we picking up trash on the field after the first match of the 2026 World Cup? That's our culture. But what is important is respect in every aspect — for the players, for the fans and for the stadium. For us it is a great honor to be here at the World Championship. So we don't want to create a mess and leave it behind.”
