The High School Soccer Finals in Japan have attracted an audience of over 60,000 spectators, indicating a high level of interest in school level soccer games. The teams fought fiercely on the pitch while the immense crowd showed unyielding support, highlighting the popularity and social significance of soccer in Japan. The event stands as a testament to the passionate spectator culture in the country.

In Japan, sports, especially school level competitions, are highly cherished, often causing a dramatic increase in public interest. They not only highlight students' athletic skills but also embody values such as teamwork and perseverance. Football, in particular, has a large following, and high school games are seen as crucial for young athletes' growth and public visibility.

School level sports are also significant in the US and EU. However, the intensity and spectator participation might not match the level seen in Japan. Furthermore, the focus of teenagers' sports is more diverse in the US/EU with a strong focus on sports such as American football, basketball or hockey.
