England’s supermarkets are also expected to join the party. Tesco said it would close more than 1,800 Express shops early on Sunday if England made the final.

Because of Sunday trading laws larger supermarkets will already be closed at kick-off but the smaller Express stores are set to shut at 19:30 so employees can watch the match.

Staff will still get their normal pay for those hours, while employees who do not want to watch the game will also be paid as normal.

“We appreciate just how much this would mean to so many of our colleagues, and we want them to be able to celebrate with their family and friends,” said Tesco managing director of UK stores, Kevin Tindall, prior to the win against the Netherlands.

Sainsbury’s is doing similar and posted a message on social media saying “it’s coming home and so are we”.

It added: “To allow our colleagues time to enjoy the game, Locals and petrol stations across England will be closing early at 7:30pm on Sunday 14th July.”

Lidl will be opening its stores an hour later on Monday regardless of the result of England’s final against Spain.

“We know how much this game means to England fans, and we want to ensure that our colleagues have the chance to celebrate such a significant moment in English football history,” said Lidl’s GB chief executive Ryan McDonnell.

“We couldn’t achieve our goals without our colleagues, so in recognition of their hard work and dedication, this move will allow them to join in the excitement and show support for the England team, and we wish them the best of luck for the big game.”
