England to get bank holiday if team win World Cup, Starmer expected to announce
Officials say any extra bank holiday after the World Cup final would need careful consideration and has not been confirmed.
- Following England's progression to the quarter-finals, public speculation has emerged regarding a potential bank holiday on Monday, July 20, should The Three Lions win the World Cup final on Sunday, July 19.
- The Department for Business and Trade has not confirmed any additional time off, emphasizing that England's existing bank holiday schedule is well established and any new proposals require careful consideration.
- England currently observes fewer bank holidays than most nations; Mexico recognizes just seven, while India holds the record with 21 days as official national holidays.
- Rare exceptions exist; the government previously granted two bank holidays in 2022 for Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee and her funeral on September 19, 2022.
- England must first face Norway in the World Cup quarter-final this Saturday, July 11, at Miami Stadium in Florida before any holiday discussions can advance.
