Following the opening match of the FIFA World Cup between Qatar and Ecuador, many had walked out of the stadium, but few of them held back. In a video that is quickly being shared, Japanese football fans can be seen meticulously cleaning the stadiums before they left.  

The video posted on Instagram by famous Bahraini YouTuber, Omar Al-Farooq, showed the Japanese audience equipped with large bags cleaning the stands after the crowd cleared off the stadium.

In the video, Omar Farooq can be seen asking them, "why are you doing this? and one of them said we are Japanese, and we do not leave rubbish behind us, and we respect the place." 
Many were seen collecting the flags that were dropped at the stadium adding that "these command respect."

And as the video gained popularity many commented thanking the Japanese fans, one adding that such behaviour makes you respect them all the more.  

Not for the first time, Samurai Blue supporters have always been reported to show similar behaviour at various venues.
