Lidl is set to alter its opening hours on Monday (July 15) to allow its staff time to enjoy post-match celebrations after watching England in the UEFA European Championship 2024 final.

The Three Lions will take on Spain in the Euro 2024 final in Berlin on Sunday (July 14) after winning their semi-final clash against the Netherlands 2-1 on Wednesday (July 10) night thanks to a late goal by Ollie Watkins. 

England will be hoping to go one better in this year's tournament after losing the final of Euro 2020 (held in 2021 due to Covid) to Italy on penalties.

Lidl to alter opening hours following Euro 2024 final

Fans across the country are gearing up for Sunday's highly-anticipated Euro 2024 final between England and Spain.

Tesco has already announced it will close all of its more than 1800 Express stores early on Sunday (July 14) so staff can get home in time to watch England in the final. 

Now Lidl has revealed it is set to open all its England stores an hour later on Monday to allow for post-match celebrations after Sunday's final.

CEO of Lidl GB, Ryan McDonnell, said: "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.

"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.”
