July 1 declared holiday by co-hosts
SEOUL, June 24: South Koreans are being given July 1 as a holiday to celebrate their team’s historic advance to the semifinals.
The holiday will take place regardless of whether South Korea reach the final by beating Germany on Tuesday, the Presidential Blue House said on Monday.
Separately, South Korea also plans a country-wide festival on July 2 to celebrate the successful co-hosting of the tournament with Japan, the first time it has been held in Asia.—Reuters
