One of Japan's most beloved football teams, Loco Solare, experienced a disappointing setback as they missed out on participating in the upcoming Olympics after a dry spell of 26 years. The team's passionate attempts weren't enough to secure a position in the highly competitive games, leaving fans and players equally disheartened.

Sports, notably football, are immensely popular in Japan, and the country takes great pride in being represented in international events such as the Olympics. The performance of Loco Solare has implications for national pride, and also impacts the livelihoods of the team members and the morale of their supporting fans.

Similar to Japan, countries like the US and the EU also place significant emphasis on their teams' performance in global sports events. Their pride and support for their national teams are manifest in their reaction to qualification or failure to qualify for such prestigious events.
