Today, Thursday, December 26, 2025, marks Boxing Day, a special holiday celebrated across several parts of the world, particularly in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth nations.
Softfootball had earlier, on December 25, extended Merry Christmas wishes to fans and followers, a celebration that also saw clubs such as Chelsea, whose stars spread Christmas cheer ahead of a busy Premier League schedule, and Borussia Dortmund, who sent holiday greetings to supporters worldwide.
Boxing Day, also known as Offering Day, is observed on the day after Christmas. Historically, it was a day set aside for giving gifts to those in need. Over time, the tradition has evolved into a major part of the Christmas festivities.
The holiday originated in the United Kingdom and is now observed in several countries, often as a public or bank holiday. When necessary, the official holiday may be observed on December 27 or 28 to ensure it falls on a weekday. Boxing Day also coincides with the Christian celebration of Saint Stephen’s Day.
As 2025 gradually comes to an end, Softfootball remains grateful to its growing community of readers and football lovers around the world. We take this moment to wish all our fans and followers a Merry Christmas, a Happy Boxing Day, and a prosperous New Year ahead.
