The Commonwealth of Independent States national football team (‹See Tfd›Russian: Сборная СНГ по футболу, Sbornaya SNG po futbolu) was a transitional national team of the Football Federation of the Soviet Union (non-existing country) in 1992. It was accepted that the team would represent the Commonwealth of Independent States that was formed as a loose union of former union republics.
The CIS team was created to allow the Soviet national team further participation as it had already booked a spot in Euro 1992 through the 1990–91 qualification tournament. The only way to preserve the spot for the post-Soviet team was to take part in the competition as a unified team.
With the end of Euro 1992, the Russia national team was recognized as the only successor of the CIS team.
