Iceland has announced it will be closing all of its stores early this Sunday (July 31). Iceland and The Food Warehouse stores will all close at 4pm this weekend, so that staff can watch the football.
The supermarket chain took the decision in order to support the Lionesses, and to ensure that staff have the chance to watch the final of the UEFA Women's Euros. As well as closing the stores at 4pm, the retailer will be stopping all home deliveries at 5pm, in time for kick off.
England's ladies will be taking on Germany at a sold-out Wembley Stadium with kick off at 5pm. A record Women's Euros crowd is expected at the final, Liverpool Echo reports. The Lionesses beat Sweden 4-0 at Bramall Lane on Tuesday night to win their place in Sunday's final, where England's women will be aiming to win their first major title.
