"England Lionesses Triumph in World Cup, No Bank Holiday Plans"

The England women's football team, the Lionesses, are one game away from winning the World Cup, but the government has stated that there are no plans for an extra bank holiday if they secure victory. Despite popular support for such a holiday, previous appeals for additional days off during major sporting events have been rejected. Fans are eagerly awaiting the final, which will be shown live on the BBC, and tickets for London fan zones sold out within minutes.
