England Dream of a Bank Holiday if Three Lions Go All the Way
The British Prime Minister has hinted that a historic public holiday could follow if England lift the World Cup trophy in 2026.
According to Sky Sports, Sir Keir Starmer has signalled that England would be rewarded with a Bank Holiday should the Three Lions win the World Cup. The hint adds a remarkable extra dimension to an already charged campaign, with the nation daring to dream of a first world title since 1966.
England face Norway in their quarter-final in Miami, and the stakes have never felt higher. Beyond the football, the weather is also becoming a talking point, with soaring temperatures in the Florida city posing a fresh logistical concern ahead of that match.
For now, the squad will be focused on the game itself. But back home, millions of fans have an extra reason to believe: a day off work if their side can actually do it.
