LONDON (Alliance News) - JD Sports Fashion PLC on Friday said sales have been boosted by the Euro 2016 football tournament, which began last week, leaving it well-positioned to deliver an "excellent" first-half result to end July.
The sporting goods retailer said it has seen a further boost to sales in recent weeks thanks to the football cup, and although it faces a strong comparative for the remainder of the year, its strong start will help facilitate delivery of current market expectations.
JD Sports' financial year ends on January 30. It is holding its annual general meeting on Friday.
