Toyota Cup took place at Yokohama International Stadium on 14 February.
Italy’s AC Milan took on Argentina’s Boca Juniors in a tense game that
went to a penalty shootout. The Ecoflag was flying at the event, below
the big screen monitor and we encourage all fans to ‘think
environment’, starting with their immediate surroundings. Picking up
and separating garbage, for example, is one action that Japanese fans
drew praise for during the FIFA World Cup in France a few years ago. |
