Iceland closing all store early on Sunday for 'historic' England Women's final

Iceland and The Food Warehouse stores across Nottingham will be closing up early on Sunday (July 31) in support of England's Lionesses

While many stores already close at 4pm on Sunday, those that don't will also shut at 4pm and this Sunday and Iceland is stopping all online deliveries at 5pm to ensure that staff have the chance to watch the final of the UEFA Women's Euro, Liverpool Echo reports.. The Lionesses will take on Germany at a sold-out Wembley Stadium with kick off at 5pm.

The team 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.

Along with an early finish for its staff, Iceland will also be releasing a special pizza and drink bundle for fans to enjoy while cheering on the Lionesses. The deal will be available in store and online and includes a choice of two Chicago Town pizzas and a three-litre bottle of Pepsi for £5.

Richard Walker, managing director at Iceland, said: "We're immensely proud of our Lionesses and how far they have come to make it to the final on Sunday. 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."
