Brighton have apologized for "any offense caused in China" by a post on social media that featured an image of a Japanese World War II soldier.

The post from the club's academy featured Japan international Kaoru Mitoma and a youth player posing with a football card featuring Hiroo Onoda.

Lieutenant Onoda was the last Japanese soldier to formally surrender, 29 years after the country's defeat in the war.Onoda held out in the Philippines jungle for 29 years before surrendering, because he did not believe the war had ended. 

During World War II, Onoda killed 30 civilians on Lubang Island in the Philippines. But he received a hero's welcome on his return to Japan.

11月29日。英超布莱顿俱乐部当天就其社交媒体上一张引发争议的图片道歉,图中,日本国脚三笘薰与一名小球员各自手持一张印有二战时日本军官小野田宽郎头像的卡片。

布莱顿俱乐部青训学院的X账号11月27日发布一篇祝贺帖,称其U12梯队赢得了英超联赛教育项目,将前往比利时参加“圣诞休战杯”,并配上了一张小球员与三笘薰的合照,两人手持印有小野田宽郎身着军装照片的卡片。

小野田宽郎是日本在二战中最后一名正式投降的士兵,1974年才投降,距离日本战败已近30年。小野田宽郎在菲律宾卢邦岛杀害了30名平民,但当时菲律宾政府仍赦免了他。小野田宽郎在返回日本后竟然还受到欢迎。

三笘薰是日本足球运动员,现效力于英超球队布莱顿。他手持小野田宽郎照片的图片一经发布,迅速引发广泛争议,在中国社交平台上,一些球迷表达了愤怒和失望之情。布莱顿俱乐部青训学院在社交平台X上发表声明称:“俱乐部就近期一则有关青训学院参加英超‘圣诞休战杯’赛事的帖文,向对中国造成的任何冒犯诚挚道歉。我们非常珍视中国的球迷,绝无任何冒犯之意。”
