All English Football League games across a four-day period in February will begin one minute late to raise awareness for the Every Minute Matters campaign. Later kick-off times will serve as "a stark reminder that every minute matters", the EFL said. "I'm here today because of the transformative power of CPR as every minute matters when it comes to saving a life. Throughout February, the Every Minute Matters campaign will call on fans to learn CPR using the BHF's online RevivR, external tool. EFL chief executive officer Trevor Birch added: "The one minute kick-off adjustment is a simple, powerful reminder that swift CPR can be the difference between life and death."
