The CIS national football team represented the Commonwealth of Independent States, the alliance of 12 out of 15 newly formed sovereign states of the Soviet Union, during the first half of 1992. Since the USSR national team had already booked a spot in the Euro 1992 by qualifying in 1991, the only legitimate way for them to take part in the competition was to take part as a unified team. As the Soviet Union ceased to exist on January 1, 1992, so did the Football Federation of USSR. However on January 11, 1992, the Association Football Federation of CIS was formed and approved by FIFA two days later. Since the national teams of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have already been formed, the players from these states did not participate in the CIS national team. Though the federation was successfully able to put together a national team, plans for a domestic league were less successful, resulting in separate championships for all of the breakaway republics.

Thus, the CIS national football team was previously known as the USSR national football team until June 1992 when the team completed its participation in the Euro 1992. It was renamed to Russia national football team and additional national teams for the FSU republics were formed as well.

The CIS national football team was only coached by Anatoly Byshovets during its existence. The team failed to achieve success in Euro 1992, finishing last in the group with 2 draws and 1 loss.
