Platinum Chemicals will be closed on Monday 15 June 2026 for the Scottish World Cup bank holiday.
This special bank holiday has been confirmed to mark Scotland’s return to the FIFA World Cup finals, with the national team opening their campaign against Haiti. It is a huge moment for Scottish football and, like many people across the country, we are looking forward to enjoying the occasion.
Why There Is a Scottish World Cup Bank Holiday
Monday 15 June 2026 has been added as a national bank holiday in Scotland to mark Scotland’s participation in the World Cup finals. Scotland’s opening match takes place against Haiti, with the fixture being played in Foxborough, near Boston.
For Scotland supporters, this is a particularly special tournament. It is the first time the national team has appeared at a World Cup since 1998, so there is plenty of excitement around the country as the team returns to the world stage.
Scotland v Haiti: A Big Moment for Scottish Football
Scotland’s first game against Haiti is more than just an opening fixture. It marks the start of a long-awaited World Cup campaign and gives supporters the chance to get behind the team after almost three decades away from the tournament.
We will certainly be cheering Scotland on and hoping for a strong start. It is a proud moment for Scottish football, and we are sure many of our customers, suppliers and fellow businesses will be doing the same.
