Shrewsbury Crown Court judge Peter Barrie took pity on the football-loving defendant after his barrister applied to lift his curfew and use of an electronic tag until 10pm on Sunday, July 14.
On that date England will take on Spain in the final match of the Euros with a kick off of 8pm.
The court did not discuss what would happen if the game goes on after 10pm for extra time and penalties.
