Russia national football team results (1992–2019)

Russia national football team before a match against Egypt at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

The Russia national football team represents Russia in international association football under the control of the Russian Football Union. Russia is a member of FIFA and UEFA.

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in December 1991, all the organizations, including the football federation, were disbanded. Since the Soviet Union had already qualified for the Euro 1992, a new team and association representing the Commonwealth of Independent States was formed. The team ceased to exist shortly after the Euro 92.[1]

Russia played its first international against Mexico on 16 August 1992 at the Lokomotiv Stadium in Moscow, winning the match 2–0.[2]

From its inception, the Russian squad has participated in four World Cups (1994, 2002, 2014 and 2018 – the latter as hosts), one Confederations Cup (2017) and five European Championship (1996, 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016).

This is a list of the Russia national football team results from 1992 to 2019.
