00:04Pompoms and chants to cheer on a team away from home.
00:08These Japanese-Australian cheerleaders are supporting Team Nadeshiko Japan before they
00:13head into the Asian Cup Finals against the Matildas.
00:16Japanese community is really small in Australia, but everyone together, we wear same uniforms
00:22and then cheering Japan team and it was very special.
00:26As for the Aussie fans, the Tilly's fever from the 2023 World Cup hasn't wavered.
00:31I thought personally they would be flogging the teams, but it's actually been pretty close
00:35and I was getting a bit scared, but they're doing pretty well.
00:38The atmosphere itself is what's going to change the game, honestly.
00:42I think as much as they believe in themselves, then Australia will believe in them.
00:45No nerves, just support.
00:47Throughout the three-week tournament, different cultures across Sydney have come out loud and
00:51proud, bringing together diaspora from across the globe to right here at Olympic Park.
00:56Where tomorrow, tens of thousands of fans will fill this stadium.
01:00Yeah, I believe tomorrow will be such a huge away environment for the Japanese team.
01:06We want the team to know, we'll still be there supporting them and even in a very small corner
01:14of the big stadium.
01:15As the nerves build for tomorrow night's final, so too is the excitement.
01:21Bringing community to the stadium and energy to the game.
01:24Go Tilly!
