Why are EFL matches kicking off one minute late this weekend? ...Middle East

News by : (Radio Times) -

Starting Thursday evening with Accrington Stanley v Salford City, all 36 Championship, League One and League Two games between Thursday 5th February and Monday 9th February will get under way a minute later than usual.

Battles rage on at both ends of the table in the Championship, League One and League Two, and teams may have a new look to them after the end of the January window, but what is behind the slight delay to fixtures?

Every EFL game will kick off a minute later this weekend to raise awareness for the 'Every Minute Matters' campaign.

The original target was to engage 270,000 people by May 2025 but that has been updated to 500,000 by the end of February, which is heart month, and the current total sits in excess of 450,000.

A statement on the EFL website reads: "There are more than 40,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in the UK each year, and eight out of 10 of these will happen in the home.

"You can 'Show Your Heart' this February and learn CPR in just 15 minutes by searching BHF RevivR or visiting revivr.bhf.org.uk."
