Downing Street does not have any plans for Bank Holiday to mark Lions’ Euro 2025 win, BBC understands.
England made history on Saturday as they retained their title against World Champions Spain after a dramatic penalty shootout in Basel.
An open-top bus tour at a ceremony outside Buckingham Palace will conclude a homecoming parade in Central London on Tuesday.
But the government is ready to confirm that there will be no bank holiday to mark the opportunity when England won the same tournament two years ago.
The call for a bank holiday after a major football success is not new, but in 1966 the England men’s team won the World Cup, nor was anyone held in 2022 when the lioness won the Euro, no one was held.
Sir Kir earlier suggested that he will be open to give people a day’s work to celebrate England’s victory, while saying that the 2022 victory should be “marking with a fair day of the celebration”.
When the lioness reached the World Cup final against Spain in 2023, Sir Kir said that “if the lioness brings it home, there should be a festive bank holiday”.
Downing Street will probably be an eye on the economic cost of announcing an additional bank holiday.
Government modeling costs the first £ 1.36bn, while the accountancy firm PWC estimated that the figure would be close to £ 831m.
Sir Keir looked at the stand, as England won a win on the punishment, both sides held 90 minutes and 1-1 after additional time to each other.
Alex Greenwood, Niyam Charles and Spot Kick Two huge savings from Cloe Kelly, as well as goalkeeper Hannah Hampton, were enough to see England winning from a tense match.
The Prime Minister described the team as a “history maker” after full -time whistle, saying: “When you matter the most, you excavate deeply and you have made the nation proud.”
