More than 360,000 people have already signed a petition to make Monday a public holiday if England beats Italy to win Euro 2020.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is apparently under increasing pressure to give workers a day off if they win on Sunday evening, with reports even claiming that a public holiday could also apply to us in Wales.
A petition which was put up on Parliament’s website calling for vacations reads: “Sunday 8pm is a tough time for families to plan to be together for the event – knowing we have a day off extra the next day would help that considerably.
“Plus, a historic victory should be celebrated. The winning team would be expected to parade the trophy, and a public holiday would be the perfect time to do so.
“In addition, the British would naturally want to continue to profit from the victory, giving the retail and entertainment industry a much needed opportunity to make up for lost revenue.”
However, while there is no official confirmation yet, it seems unlikely that the holiday will go into action on Monday, July 12.
Instead of, The telegraph Report, a day off could be sanctioned for Friday, August 27, making it a four-day holiday this weekend, which includes the normal August holiday on Monday.
It is believed that an extra day of vacation over this weekend could help boost the economy, giving families more time for mini-breaks before the start of the next school year.
Asked about the prospect of declaring Monday July 12 a public holiday, the Prime Minister refused to answer, saying he did not want to “tempt fate” before the final of the European Championship.
Downing Street has said it will hold celebrations such as a victory parade for the England team “in due course”, but has not confirmed whether plans for a possible public holiday are underway in the months. backstage.
The Prime Minister’s official spokesperson said: “I don’t want to anticipate the outcome of Sunday’s game. We clearly want England to go all the way and win the final and then we will set our plans in due course. “
The match will be over at 10 p.m. if it is settled in the normal course.
However, the prospect of extra time and a penalty shootout means the game could end closer to 11pm, which means, logistically, that it would be nearly impossible to sanction the holiday in time before. Monday.
Pubs can stay open until 11:15 p.m. to reduce the risk that customers will be asked to leave before the end of the game.
