England are into the Euro 2024 final after Ollie Watkins’ stunning last-minute winner against the Netherlands on Wednesday.
The Three Lions are now just one win from the history books. If they beat Spain on Sunday, they will be the first England side to lift a trophy in 78 years.
England fans are naturally wondering if they will get the day off on Monday, should Gareth Southgate’s side deliver the goods.
Here’s everything you need to know.
Will there be a bank holiday if England win Euro 2024?
England fans are pushing for a bank holiday if England beat Spain and win the Euros on Sunday.
But the UK government has revealed no plans for a new bank holiday on Monday.
It is even estimated that creating a new bank holiday could cost the UK economy nearly £2 billion.
However, many England fans still think that would be a price worth paying for the celebrations of a lifetime.
In one viral video shared by Georgeana Burkett, one England fan insists “not one person in England” will turn up for work on Monday if Gareth Southgate’s team beat Spain.
He said: “But then if we get through to the final guess when the final is? Guess what time the final is? Eight o’clock kickoff on Sunday night. A Sunday night!
“Now, that has to be announced as a national Bank Holiday. No one is going to work that next day. Not one person in England. No one. And if you do, your life is boring. You’ve got no life.”
However, not all England fans agree with his assessment. At the time of writing, an Express readers poll shows only 44% think Monday should be a bank holiday, while 56% say they are dead against the idea.
