Summary
103. Fan Culture in Japan We're joined by freelance journalist Dan Orlowitz and Yokohama F. Marinos stalwart Stuart Woodward to talk about the vibrant, passionate and unique supporter culture in Japan. Outside of watching Japan supporters at the World Cup, football fans in Europe and elsewhere have likely saw little of the fervent football culture sweeping Japan. We take a whiste stop tour around Japanese fan groups, supporter culture from the J1 League to University clubs, and the modern history of football in Japan.
