Downing Street has said employers who are able to should be flexible about allowing staff to go into work late on Monday or take the day off if England win Euro 2020.
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “We would want businesses who feel able to consider it if they can but we recognise it will vary depending on the business and company.”
Downing Street has said it would set out any celebrations such as a victory parade for the England team “in due course” if they win the Euro 2020 final on Sunday.
The spokesman said: “I don’t want to pre-empt the outcome of Sunday’s match. Clearly we want England to go all the way and win the final and then we will set out our plans in due course.
“We will hopefully, when England go on to win, then go on to set out our plans.”
He ruled out increasing the number of fans allowed to attend Wembley, saying: “There are no plans to extend the capacity.”
Boris Johnson praised Gareth Southgate’s management style, saying the England manager has done an “absolutely outstanding job” during Euro 2020.
Asked if it could soon be Sir Gareth, the Prime Minister told broadcasters: “I obviously wouldn’t want to anticipate anything that the honours people may decide.
“But clearly I think Gareth Southgate has done an absolutely outstanding job.
“What seems so amazing to me is how he varies it, he mixes it up, and plays a different series of options depending on the match in question.
“So best of luck for Sunday.”
Asked about the possibility of a Bank Holiday on Monday, he said: “I think that would be tempting fate, let’s see what happens.”
