Is your school allowing children to come in late on Monday because of the football?

I've had an email today saying that primary dc can go in late on Monday if they are staying up to watch the football on Sunday night. They are usually really strict on punctuality and how much they miss by being just 5 minutes late but they have said that being 90 minutes late won't cause them to miss any lesson time!
I recall this for something last year too.
Is your school doing this? Is your child sleeping in on Monday morning after the late night watching football?
I'm not into football at all so I might be biased against this.
Aibu to think that schools shouldn't adjust the school day timings to allow for late nights to watch sport?

I've seen on social media that our old primary is allowing a delayed start.

However youngest is now at secondary and they have sent out an email saying that students are required in at their usual start time.

My kids school is the same. We aren't into football though, and we'll have to work so DD will be dropped at breakfast club the usual time!
