So far, only Aberdeen, Glasgow and Dundee City Councils have approved the day off for staff.
Staff at Dundee City Council are set to receive an extra day off after councillors backed proposals to mark the World Cup bank holiday.
The City of Discovery has become the third Scottish council to approve the day off after Aberdeen and Glasgow but the majority of councils have so far rejected the idea.
Schools are also set to be closed for the day in the cities after councillors agreed to the holiday.
Last month, King Charles III formally proclaimed the bank holiday which will taken place on Monday, June 15 – a day after Scotland open their World Cup campaign against Haiti in Boston.
Last week, Aberdeenshire, East Lothian, Midlothian, Perth and Kinross, Shetland, Moray and East Renfrewshire Councils all officially rejected the holiday for their employees.
Comhairle nan Eilean Siar has also rejected the day off for its staff while Edinburgh, Fife, Falkirk, North Lanarkshire and Scottish Borders Council have all said they don’t plan to offer the holiday to employees. Council officers in Argyll and Bute are also recommending refusing the holiday.
Most councils who have refused to recognise the public holiday for their employees have cited the costs involved.
South Lanarkshire Council is set to decide on the proposals when it meets later this week.
First Minister John Swinney proposed the bank holiday to mark the national men’s football team’s return to the FIFA World Cup for the first time since 1998.
Steve Clarke‘s men will take on Haiti, Morocco and Brazil at the competition which is being staged in the United States, Mexico and Canada in June and July.
