As a result, the frozen food retailer will close its doors at 4pm on 31 July, with its online deliveries being stopped at 5pm to give employees the chance to enjoy the match.

“We’re immensely proud of our lionesses and how far they have come to make it to the final on Sunday,” Iceland managing director Richard Walker said.

“Sporting achievements like this don’t happen very often so we think it’s only right to give our store teams the opportunity to watch this historic moment.”

The news comes as Iceland has removed a reference on its website to its palm oil and plastic pledges, following criticism that these commitments have not been met.
