Soviet Union national football team results (unofficial matches)

The Soviet Union national football team represented the Soviet Union in international association football under the control of the Football Federation of the Soviet Union. From its establishment the Soviet Union remained in political blockade and to break it, it created its own international sports organization Red Sport International (RSI) that was part of the Comintern. It was not until 1950s when the Football Federation of the Soviet Union was finally admitted to FIFA (1946) and later UEFA (1954).

The Soviet Union played its first official international against Turkey on 16 November 1924 at the imeni Vorovskogo sports field in Moscow, winning the match 3–0.[1][2] In 1925 the football team toured Turkey. Following admission of the Weimar Republic to the League of Nations, in 1926 and 1927 on invitation of the Arbeiter-Turn- und Sportbund the Soviet Union was touring Germany. In 1930 fighting the political blockade, the AIF Workers Federation of Sports gave invitation to the Soviet Union to tour Scandinavia.

The Soviet squad has participated in seven World Cups (1958, 1962, 1966, 1970, 1982, 1986 and 1990) and six European Championship (1960, 1964, 1968, 1972, 1988 and 1992 – latter as CIS national football team). Also, the Soviet squad managed to reach finals in four UEFA European Championships.
