For the May 23 soccer game between the Beijing Guoan and the Jiangsu Guoxin-Sainty Football Clubs, over 1,000 Beijing fans traveled to Nanjing for the event.
They were accompanied by staff from the Beijing branch of the Commission for Cultural and Ethical Progress and league officials, who helped fans purchase tickets and enter the stadium in a civilized fashion, state-run media reported.
Green plastic bags for “civilized waste disposal,” designed by the Commission, were passed out to visitors at the Nanjing away-game venue. Printed on the bags were “Keep Your Mouth Clean While Watching the Game” and “Make Sure the Place Is Clean Before Leaving the Game.”
