It led to social media jokes that Japan had well and truly 'cleaned up' on and off the pitch against Germany.
Neither gesture is anything new to the Japanese, however. A small group of their fans stayed behind after the opening World Cup game between Qatar and Ecuador to tidy up, to the astonishment of their hosts.
Pictured were also shared of spotless Japan dressing rooms at the 2018 World Cup in Russia and the 2019 Asian Cup, also held in Qatar.
