Firms are being urged to accommodate requests from staff to watch their team play in the football World Cup.

The conciliation service Acas said employers should be flexible when allowing workers time off.

Businesses were advised to plan ahead, with just weeks before the tournament starts on Thursday, June 14 in Russia.

Kick off times will vary between 1pm and 8pm.
