Will there be an extra bank holiday if England's Lionesses win the Euros?
Sarina Weigman's side, who are the defending champions, saw a late equaliser from 19-year-old substitute Michelle Agyemang hit the back of the net, and then it was Chloe Kelly's extra-time rebound from her penalty kick that secured their place in the final.
You might be wondering if we'll have an extra bank holiday to celebrate if the Lionesses bring it home – here's what we know.
Will England get an extra bank holiday if Lionesses win Euros?
It's unlikely England will have an extra bank holiday added to the calendar as it wasn't something that happened when the Lionesses won the Euros last time, in 2022.
The team beat Germany's side 2-1 in the final and could face the team again, depending on how the match plays out on July 23 between Germany and Spain.
No bank holiday has been confirmed if England's Lionesses win the Euros again.
When is the Women's Euro final 2025?
The final will take place on Sunday, July 27 at 5pm, but the team England will face is yet to be decided.
Coverage of the match starts at 4pm on ITV1 with kick-off being 5pm.
Lucy Bronze insisted England had nothing to prove after booking their place in the Euro 2025 final with a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over Italy in Geneva.
'I think people from the outside think teams have to win every single game,' defender Bronze said.
'I think people talk about consistency with this England team, we've done six consecutive semi-finals, three consecutive finals, who else has done that? Nobody.
'You know, Spain and Germany are fantastic teams, even they haven't managed that feat.

'It's hard to stay at the top in international football, so many teams, they have performances, then it's up and down, they develop, but this team just keeps fighting until the end.
'I feel like we didn't have anything to prove because we've been there, we've done it many, many times.
'It's just the fact that the game's getting better, international football's not as easy as it used to be. Everybody's fighting and everyone wants to win and everyone feels like they can win.'

New York Giants training camp: Top 5 plays from Week 1
The New York Giants wrapped up their first week of training camp on Sunday under overcast East Rutherford skies and with their shells on. There were many highs and lows throughout the week, but more reasons for optimism than pessimism. The offense looks like an entirely different unit than a year ago, while the defensive front seven flashed utter dominance. There were also more than a handful of highlight plays on all sides of the ball, breathing life and excitement into the fan base. Here's a look at the top five plays of the week. 5. The catch that wasn't On the very last play of Sunday's wrap-up practice, rookie running back Cam Skattebo flashed brilliant hands and concentration, hauling in a deflected pass while tapping his toes on the ground. Unfortunately for Skattebo, he was out of bounds by an inch... But it shouldn't take away from the highlight catch. 4. Jones pick-6 Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart was introduced to fine-line football in his first training camp practice as a pro. During red zone drills, Dart attempted to fire a tight ball into tight end Greg Dulcich, who was undercut by cornerback Nic Jones. From there, it was off to the races for a pick-6. 3. Wan'Dale stunner Quarterback Russell Wilson, unlike Daniel Jones before him, isn't afraid to throw the ball downfield, where wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson flashed this week. One of those plays included a beautiful fade, where Robinson made a sliding one-handed touchdown grab in front of cornerback Dru Phillips. 2. Carter destroys JMS Rookie edge rusher Abdul Carter is a freak of nature and established himself as a human highlight reel in Week 1 of training camp. He showed out every single day and made multiple "wow" plays in each practice. Arguably, the most unbelievable came when he lined up off the ball inside and completely destroyed center John Michael Schmitz. 1. Darius slays Veteran wide receiver Darius Slayton electrified Sunday's crowd early in practice, hauling in a dazzling one-handed catch along the sideline. Not only was he able to secure the ball, but he got both feet in bounds for the big gain off the arm of Russell Wilson.

Report – Italy U21 Star Wants To Join Inter Milan But Won't Wait Forever
Parma defender Giovanni Leoni reportedly wants to join Inter Milan this summer, but 'won't wait forever' for the move. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. For the last several weeks, Inter have been heavily linked with Parma defender Giovanni Leoni. Reportedly, the 19-year-old is the player the Nerazzurri see as ideal for the long-term future of their defense. Furthermore, the fact that Leoni had worked with coach Cristian Chivu last season has further bumped him up Inter's list of targets. However, the price tag for Leoni would be quite high. Reportedly, Parma are holding out for as much as €40 million to sell the teenage defender. Giovanni Leoni Wants Inter Move – But Won't Wait Forever BOLOGNA, ITALY – OCTOBER 06: Giovanni Leoni of Parma calcio looks on during the Serie A match between Bologna and Parma at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on October 06, 2024 in Bologna, Italy. (Photo by) According to the Corriere dello Sport, Leoni himself wants to join Inter. Particularly because of Cristian Chivu becoming Nerazzurri coach, the 19-year-old feels that he will be in a good environment to development at Inter. However, that does not mean that there aren't other clubs keen on Leoni's signature. Far from it. The likes of AC Milan and Juventus also want to sign Leoni. Then, from the Premier League, the Corriere name Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle United as admirers of the teenage defender. Inter have the advantage as far as Leoni preferring the move. However, if they cannot make their move in due time, the 19-year-old could accept other destinations. Alternatively, Parma's preference would actually be to hold onto Leoni for another season.
