As an ardent supporter, anticipating the crescendo of a thrilling European Championship Final featuring England on July 14th 2024, I'm deeply attached to the idea of uniting the nation in celebration, should our team emerge victorious. This victory, if realized, will not just be about football - it's about national pride and unity. However, such a grand event often extends late into the night, affecting the next working day for numerous citizens.

Current statistics show that over 37 million people in the UK tuned in to watch the Euro 2020 final. That's just over 40% of the population (source: BBC). Imagine the ripple effect this has on productivity the morning after the potential win. It would be beneficial and sensible for the government to give the nation a timeout to recover and rejoice with an extra Bank Holiday on the following Monday, July 15th 2024.

Celebrations of such magnitude should not bear negative implications on the workforce and their responsibilities. Let us make the victory of our national team a truly memorable event for everyone, without a single person missing out on the opportunity to fully cherish this nation's triumph. Please sign this petition to lobby for the establishment of a Bank Holiday if England emerges as the champions of Euro 2024.
