The large number of seats available for the Japan national team (17th in the FIFA ranking) vs. China national team (94th in the 93rd place) at the East Asia E-1 Championships is becoming a hot topic on social media.

The East Asia E-1 Championship began on the 7th. Yongin Mill Stadium accommodates over 37,000 people, but there are many vacant seats in the spectator seats. Supporters from both countries are seated on both sides of the back stand, but in the middle there is a space where no one is sitting.

On X (formerly Twitter), comments such as, “Even though there are no top-class people, it's too empty. It's a national team match,” “The audience is empty,” and “Rapid again today.” It is believed that the number of players is more than the match against Hong Kong on the 8th, when the number was 687.
