Rejected petition Make Monday 12 July a Bank Holiday if England win Euro 2020.

Monday 12 July 2021 should be declared a Bank Holiday under s1(3) of the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971 if England win Euro 2020 to allow the country appropriate time to celebrate a once-in-multiple-generations achievement, both on Sunday night and the following day.

More details

A major tournament win for over half a century is more than deserving of a day of celebration, relaxation and enjoyment. Whilst millions do, indeed, work on Bank Holidays, there are numerous people who would benefit from having the day off to adequately celebrate (and recuperate from doing so!) such an achievement. For decades we've been hoping to see football come home. If it does, let us be prepared to offer it a warm welcome.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're all really proud of the England team for getting to the 2020 European Championship final, but unfortunately they didn't win the match. So we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
