A Japanese netizen has asked fans of Johor Darul Ta’zim Football Club (JDT) to stop placing stickers at a stadium in Hiroshima.

Twitter user @kiyotantaka0526 posted a picture of the sticker stuck on a pole outside the stadium. The sticker had the words, ‘’Johor Level Asia Yang Sebenar’’ which translates to ‘’Johor, The Real Asia Level.’’

よそ様のスタジアム横の施設にステッカーを貼って帰るのはやめましょうね
どこのチームとは言いませんが

※綺麗に剥がして頂きました

この下にもう一枚濃い青いチーム関連のステッカーも貼ってありましたねー… pic.twitter.com/LCNYtM9BAq

JDT, also known as the Southern Tigers, recently celebrated advancing to the AFC Champions League Elite quarter-finals at Edion Peace Wing Hiroshima, previously known as the Hiroshima Soccer Stadium. It’s believed the stickers are found at the same stadium.

The user said he had removed the sticker, but there was another sticker further down the same pole.

Malaysian netizens apologised and admitted that it was an embarrassing and irresponsible act.

Some shared they also have issues with the behaviours of these football fans, while others urged the football club to advise its fans better.

Sorry Japan….this team n fans give us headaches too… Some called it pirate behavior… Again we're sorry…please beat them next time you play them?
