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. |
