Russia national football team
The Russia national football team represents Russia in men's international football. It is controlled by the Russian Football Union, the governing body for football in Russia. Russia's home ground is the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow and their head coach is Valery Karpin.
As the football team|Russian Empire] before 1917, as the Russian SFSR in 1917β1924 and as the Soviet Union in 1924β1991, Russia first entered the FIFA World Cup in 1958 [FIFA World Cup|1958]. They have qualified for the tournament 11 times, with their best result being their fourth-place finish in 1966. As the Soviet Union, Russia was a founding member of UEFA in 1954, winning the first edition of the European Championship in 1960 and were runners-up in 1964, 1972 and 1988. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Russia's best result was in 2008, when the team finished third.
On 28 February 2022, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and in accordance with a "recommendation" by the International Olympic Committee, FIFA and UEFA suspended the participation of Russia in their competitions. The Russian Football Union unsuccessfully appealed the FIFA and UEFA bans to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which upheld the bans. Since then, they have played several friendlies, mostly against non-Western countries.
History
Beginning
Led by manager Pavel Sadyrin, Russia were in 1994 [FIFA World Cup qualification β UEFA Group 5|Group 5] for the World Cup qualification (UEFA)|qualification campaign] for the 1994 FIFA World Cup held in the United States which consisted of Greece, Iceland, Hungary and Luxembourg. The suspension of FR Yugoslavia reduced the group to five teams. Russia qualified alongside Greece with five wins, one draw and one defeat. Russia went to the US as an independent country. The Russian squad consisted of veterans like goalkeeper Stanislav Cherchesov, Aleksandr Borodyuk and players like Viktor Onopko, Oleg Salenko, Dmitri Cheryshev, Aleksandr Mostovoi, Vladimir Beschastnykh, and Valery Karpin.In the final tournament, Russia was drawn into 1994 [FIFA World Cup Group B|Group B] with Cameroon, Sweden, and Brazil. Russia was eliminated from the tournament with three points. Sadyrin was sacked following what was a poor performance.
Euro 1996
After Sadyrin was sacked, Oleg Romantsev was appointed coach to lead Russia to UEFA Euro 1996. During qualifying Group 8|qualifying], Russia overcame Scotland, Greece, Finland, San Marino, and the Faroe Islands to finish in first place with eight wins and two draws.In the final tournament, Russia was in Group C with Germany, the Czech Republic and Italy. They were eliminated after losing 2β1 to Italy and 3β0 to Germany. Russia's last game against the Czech Republic ended 3β3. Germany and Czech Republic went on to meet in the final.
1997β1999
After Euro 96, Boris Ignatyev was appointed manager for the campaign to World Cup qualification (UEFA)|qualify] for the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France. In the qualifying stage, Russia was in Group 5 with Bulgaria, Israel, Cyprus, and Luxembourg. Russia and Bulgaria were considered the two main contenders to qualify from the group with Israel considered a minor threat. Russia began the campaign with two victories against Cyprus and Luxembourg and two draws against Israel and Cyprus. They continued with victories against Luxembourg and Israel. Russia suffered their only defeat of the campaign with a 1β0 loss to Bulgaria. They ended the campaign with a 4β2 victory in the return game over Bulgaria and qualify for the play-off spot. In the play-offs, Russia was drawn with Italy. In the first leg Russia drew 1β1. In the away leg, Russia were defeated 1β0 and failed to qualify for the World Cup.After failing to qualify for the World Cup in France, Russia played to qualify for the UEFA Euro 2000 co-hosted by Belgium and the Netherlands. Anatoliy Byshovets was appointed as Russia manager. Russia were drawn in Group 4 for the qualifying round with France, Ukraine, Iceland, Armenia, and Andorra. Russia and France were considered as favorites for the top two spots with Ukraine being an outside contender. Russia began their campaign with three straight defeats to Ukraine, France, and Iceland. Outraged by this result, the Russian Football Union immediately sacked Byshovets and reappointed Oleg Romantsev as manager. Russia went on to win their next six games including a 3β2 victory over eventual champions France at the Stade de France. In their last game against Ukraine, a win for Russia would have resulted in outright qualification as the winners of the group, having an identical head-to-head record with France, while possessing a superior goal difference. The game finished 1β1 after an error by the goalkeeper Aleksandr Filimonov late in the game. Russia finished third in the group, failing to qualify for their second consecutive major tournament.
Revival
Oleg Romantsev remained as manager of the national team to supervise their qualification campaign to the 2002 FIFA World Cup in South Korea and Japan. In the preliminary stage, Russia was in Group 1 with Slovenia, FR Yugoslavia, and Switzerland, Faroe Islands, and Luxembourg. Russia finished in first place to qualify directly managing seven wins, two draws, and a loss.Russia was drawn into Group H with Belgium, Tunisia, and Japan. In their first game, Russia achieved a 2β0 victory over Tunisia, but lost their next match to Japan 1β0, causing riots to erupt in Moscow. For their last game against Belgium, Russia needed a draw to take them to the second round, but lost 3β2 and was eliminated.
Romantsev was sacked immediately following the tournament and replaced with CSKA's Valery Gazzaev. His task looked difficult as Euro 2004 qualifying Group 10|Russia's group] consisted of Switzerland, Republic of Ireland, Albania, and Georgia with the Irish considered favourites and an improving Swiss side as an increasing threat. Russia began their campaign with home victories against Ireland and Albania, but lost their next two games away to Albania and Georgia. Gazzaev was sacked after a disappointing draw with Switzerland in Basel, and Georgi Yartsev was then appointed manager. He managed to qualify Russia for a play-off against Wales after home victories to Switzerland and Georgia. In the first play-off leg, Russia drew 0β0 with Wales in Moscow, but a Vadim Evseev header gave Russia a 1β0 victory in the away leg in Cardiff to qualify for Euro 2004. The victory was overshadowed when Russian midfielder Yegor Titov tested positive for drugs; amidst calls for Russia to be disqualified, Titov was given a one-year ban on 15 February 2004.
Russia were drawn in Group A with hosts Portugal, Spain, and Greece. They were not among the favourites to progress and tournament preparations were hampered by injuries to defenders Sergei Ignashevich and Viktor Onopko. Russia started their tournament against Spain but a late goal from Juan Carlos ValerΓ³n put Russia on the brink of another group stage elimination. Four days later, Russia became the first team eliminated after a 0β2 defeat to Portugal. The final game of the group resulted in a surprising 2β1 victory over eventual champions Greece with Dmitri Kirichenko scoring one of the fastest goals of the tournament.
In the 2006 World Cup qualifying tournament, Russia was drawn into Group 3 with Portugal, Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein. Russia began qualification with a 1β1 draw against Slovakia on 4 September 2004 in Moscow and then beat Luxembourg 4β0, but suffered a 7β1 defeat against Portugal in Lisbon, which remains Russia's worst defeat. Victories against Estonia and Liechtenstein seemed to put them back on track, but a 1β1 draw with Estonia on 30 March 2005 in Tallinn was a major disappointment which saw the end of Georgi Yartsev's reign. Under new manager Yury Syomin, Russia were able to rekindle their hopes with a 2β0 win against Latvia before a 1β1 draw in Riga on 17 August 2005. Russia then had victories against Liechtenstein, Luxembourg and a 0β0 draw against Portugal. In their final game, Russia needed to win against Slovakia in Bratislava. After a 0β0 draw, Slovakia advanced to the play-offs above Russia on goal difference.
Euro 2008
Having failed to qualify Russia for the 2006 World Cup, Yury Syomin stepped down several weeks later and Russia began looking for a new manager. It was clear that a foreign manager would be needed as most of the high-profile Russian coaches were not successful with the national team. On 10 April 2006, it was announced that then-Australia manager Guus Hiddink would lead Russia in the 2008 qualifying|Euro 2008 qualification] campaign.For the Euro 2008 qualifying campaign, Russia were drawn into Group E with England, Croatia, Israel, Macedonia national football team|Macedonia], Estonia, and Andorra. For much of the campaign, it was between Russia and England to obtain the final qualifying place behind Croatia. Russia lost 3β0 away to England, and in the return game in Moscow, fell to an early goal from Wayne Rooney. During the second half Russia came from behind to win 2β1 with Roman Pavlyuchenko scoring both goals. On 17 November 2007, Russia suffered a 2β1 defeat to Israel to put qualification hopes in jeopardy, but Russia still managed to qualify one point ahead of England by beating Andorra 1β0 while England lost 3β2 to Croatia.
In the Euro 2008 tournament, Russia were drawn into Group D with Sweden and Euro 2004 group rivals Spain and Greece. In a preparation friendly against Serbia, leading striker Pavel Pogrebnyak was injured and would miss the tournament. Russia lost their opening match 4β1 to Spain in Innsbruck but then beat Greece 1β0 with a goal by Konstantin Zyryanov. The third game saw Russia defeat Sweden 2β0 through goals by Roman Pavlyuchenko and Andrey Arshavin, resulting in Russia advancing to the quarter-finals in second place behind Spain. This was the first time ever since the fall of USSR, that saw Russia qualified from the group stage of a major tournament.
In the quarter-final against the Netherlands, Roman Pavlyuchenko scored a volley ten minutes after half-time. With four minutes left in the match, Ruud van Nistelrooy scored, to make it 1β1 and put the game into extra time. But Russia regained the lead when Andrey Arshavin raced down the left flank and sent across towards substitute Dmitri Torbinski, who tapped the ball into the net. Arshavin then beat Edwin van der Sar, ending the match 3β1, and sent Russia through to their first major semi-final since the breakup of the USSR. In the semi-finals, Russia was once again matched up against Spain, and lost 3β0.
2010 FIFA World Cup qualification
Russia was drawn to Group 4 in qualification for 2010 FIFA World Cup, competing with Germany, Finland, Wales, Azerbaijan and Liechtenstein. The team started the campaign with a 2β1 victory over Wales but on 11 October lost 2β1 to Germany. Russia's form then improved, and by winning 3β1 away to Wales on the same day as Finland drew 1β1 to Liechtenstein, guaranteed them at least a play-off spot. The match at the Luzhniki Stadium against Germany to top the group was watched by 84,500 fans. Miroslav Klose scored the only goal of the game in the 35th minute, sending the Germans to the finals in South Africa and Russia to a play-off.On 14 November, Russia faced Slovenia in the first-leg of their two-legged play-off, where they won 2β1 with two goals from Diniyar Bilyaletdinov. In the return match, Russia lost 1β0 in Maribor, and Slovenia qualified for the finals on the away goals rule. On 13 February 2010, it was confirmed that Hiddink would leave his position as manager, with the expiration of his contract on 30 June.
Euro 2012
Russia directly qualified for Euro 2012 by winning qualifying Group B, defeating Slovakia, the Republic of Ireland, Macedonia, Armenia and Andorra. Russia were drawn into Group A with Poland, the Czech Republic and Greece. Led by Dick Advocaat, Russia had been unbeaten for nearly 15 games and managed to record a 3β0 win against Italy one week before the Euro 2012's opening game kick-off. The Sbornaya started off the tournament with a 4β1 win over the Czech Republic and temporarily went top of the group with three points. Alan Dzagoev netted twice and Roman Shirokov and Roman Pavlyuchenko scored. In the second game against co-host Poland, Advocaat's side saw Dzagoev continue his fine form. He netted the opener, but Poland managed to equalise in the second half. Despite having drawn, the result wasn't seen as a bad one. A game against Greece finished with a 1β0 loss which eliminated the Russians from the tournament.The group stage exit resulted in a hostile reaction from fans and media. Advocaat and most of the team, such as Andrey Arshavin, were heavily criticized for their perceived overconfidence.
2014 FIFA World Cup
In July 2012, the Italian Fabio Capello was named as the new Russian manager, after being sacked by England in February.Russia competed in Group F of World Cup qualification and qualified in first place after a 1β1 draw with Azerbaijan in their last game. In January 2014, Capello was rewarded with a new four-year contract to last up to the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
Russia played in Group H against South Korea, Belgium and Algeria. In their first group match, against South Korea, goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev fumbled a long-range shot from Lee Keun-ho, dropping it over the line to give the Koreans the lead. Russia then went on to equalise through substitute Aleksandr Kerzhakov, who drew equal to Vladimir Beschastnykh's record 26 goals for Russia, and the match finished 1β1. In the second match, Russia held Belgium at 0β0 at the MaracanΓ£ until substitute Divock Origi scored the only goal in the 88th minute. The final group stage match between Algeria and Russia on 26 June ended 1β1, advancing Algeria and eliminating Russia. A win for Russia would have seen them qualify, and they led the game 1β0 after six minutes through Aleksandr Kokorin. In the 60th minute of the game, a laser was shone in Akinfeev's face while he was defending from an Algerian free kick, from which Islam Slimani scored to equalise. Both Akinfeev and Russian coach Fabio Capello blamed the laser for the decisive conceded goal.
Euro 2016
Russia were placed in Group G of UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying alongside Sweden, Austria, Montenegro, Moldova and Liechtenstein. Russia began with a 4β0 win against Liechtenstein. This was followed by a string of shaky performances by Russia, two 1β1 draws against Sweden and Moldova and two 1β0 losses against Austria. Russia were awarded a 3β0 victory against Montenegro due to crowd violence. At this stage, Russia looked to be finishing third in their group before they bounced back by winning their remaining matches against Sweden, Liechtenstein, Moldova and Montenegro to finish second in their qualifying group above Sweden and qualify for UEFA Euro 2016.During the group stages of the tournament, UEFA imposed a suspended disqualification on Russia for crowd riots during a group match against England. Russia were knocked out of the competition in their final group match which was against Wales ; prior to this they had only collected a single point from a 1β1 draw against England which was followed by a 2β1 loss to Slovakia.
2017 FIFA Confederations Cup
Russia qualified for the 2017 Confederations Cup as hosts, yet once again produced a dismal performance. After defeating New Zealand 2β0, Russia disappointed its fans by losing 0β1 to Portugal and 1β2 to Mexico, thus once again crashed out from the group stage of a major FIFA tournament. Despite this dismal performance, Stanislav Cherchesov, appointed as coach of Russia after Euro 2016, was allowed to keep the job.2018 FIFA World Cup
On 2 December 2010, Russia were selected to host the 2018 World Cup and automatically qualified for the tournament. During the friendly matches prior to the tournament, Russia did not have good results. The team lost more games than it won and this made their FIFA ranking fall to 70th, the lowest among all World Cup participants. Russia were drawn to play Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Uruguay in the group stage.Despite a series of poor results in warm-up games, however, Russia began their World Cup campaign with a 5β0 demolition of Saudi Arabia, who were three places above them in the rankings, on 14 June in the opening match of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. On 19 June, Russia won their second game of the group stage, beating Egypt by a scoreline of 3β1, taking their goal difference to +7 with only two matches played. The win over Egypt all but secured Russia's advancement into the knockout stage for the first time since 1986, when they played as the Soviet Union; and also for the first time in their history as an independent state. They officially qualified for the knockout stage the next day, following Uruguay's 1β0 win over Saudi Arabia. Russia's final group game was against two-time world champions Uruguay, losing 3β0, and finished second in the group.
Advancing from their group in second place, Russia faced Spain at the Round of 16 in Moscow. Spain were considered one of the tournament favorites with many accomplished players at club and international level, having won the 2010 edition. Russia managed to surprise Spain in one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history; beating them in a penalty shootout after the match ended 1β1 in regular time. BBC Sport and The Guardian described this as one of the biggest tournament surprises, considering how Russia were the lowest-ranked team prior to the competition, and according to some, had one of the worst teams of the competition. Against the Spaniards who were known for their tiki-taka, coach Stanislav Cherchesov used a defensive 5β3β1β1 formation to sit deep and defend with ten men, and conceded no goals from open play as Spain's only goal was from a free kick set piece while Russia tied the game thanks for a penalty awarded for a handball. Igor Akinfeev, who saved two penalties including a foot-save to deny Spain's Iago Aspas, was voted as Budweiser Man of the Match. The win against Spain sent supporters and residents of Russia into wild celebrations, as they reached the quarter-finals for the first time since the breakup of the Soviet Union. Match TV commentator Denis Kazansky said: "From the first day we had not been expecting much from our team. Then thoughts turned to winning the thing. What we have seen is a significant change in people's attitudes, and in the history of Russian football."
Russia then played Croatia in the quarter-finals held at Sochi, on 7 July. Coach Stanislav Cherchesov reverted to a four-man defense which successfully exploited Croatia offensive set-up which proved vulnerable to Russia's counter-attacking. Russia scored first and last as the match finished 2β2 after extra time, and then were eliminated 3β4 in the penalty shootout. Nonetheless, this stands as Russia's best World Cup performance ever since the dissolution of the USSR. The team visited the FIFA Fan Fest in Moscow on Sunday, 8 July 2018, to thank their supporters and say goodbye. Following the World Cup run, Russia's position in the FIFA ranking rose from 70 to 40.
2018β19 UEFA Nations League
Russia participated in the UEFA Nations League for the first time, where they were drawn with Turkey and Sweden. Russia had a promising start, with two wins over Turkey and a home draw to Sweden. However, Russia wasted its opportunity to promote to League A after getting a 0β2 away defeat to Sweden, thus losing their first place to the Swedes instead and was forced to stay in League B.Euro 2020
In qualification, the Russian side was drawn in Group I with Belgium, Kazakhstan, San Marino, Cyprus and Scotland. With the exception of its 1β3 loss to the Belgians away, Russia defeated other group opponents. The Russian team defeated San Marino 9β0 after the two 7β0 wins in 1995 and in 2015. Russia also defeated Scotland, Cyprus and Kazakhstan twice and qualified for the UEFA Euro 2020. Russia consolidated its second place in the group despite being thrashed by number-one ranked Belgium 1β4 at home.Russia lost their first match against Belgium in a 3β0 defeat, but won their second match against Finland 1β0. However, Russia were knocked out of the competition in their final group match against Denmark where they lost 4β1. Following Russia's exit from the competition, Stanislav Cherchesov was sacked as coach.
2020β21 UEFA Nations League
Russia competed in the League B for the season, thereby matching up with Turkey, Serbia and Hungary. Russia began comfortably, beating Serbia and Hungary to take the first place. In their last two games, they suffered two losses in Turkey and 0β5 in Serbia and finished the group in second place, remaining in League B.2022 FIFA World Cup qualification
Russia was drawn to Group H for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, competing with Croatia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Cyprus, and Malta. After finishing second behind Croatia, Russia advanced to the play-offs.Since 2022: suspensions and potential AFC move
In the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, several nations, including Albania, England, Scotland, Wales, and Russia's 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying play-off opponents Poland, Sweden and the Czech Republic, said they would refuse to play Russia. On 27 February, FIFA initially announced a ban on any international competition being played in Russia, with any "home" matches having to be played on neutral territory behind closed doors, and ordered that Russia compete under the name of the Russian Football Union and without being allowed to display the Russian flag or play the Russian national anthem. This followed a decision taken by UEFA two days prior that stripped Saint Petersburg of hosting the 2022 UEFA Champions League final, which had been due to be held at Krestovsky Stadium, in addition to banning any UEFA-sanctioned matches from occurring in Russia.The decision was criticized by many as inadequate, and the next day FIFA and UEFA relented and issued blanket bans on Russian participation in international football, effectively barring them from participating in the 2022 World Cup qualifying play-off. This was in accordance with a recommendation by the International Olympic Committee. The Russian Football Union unsuccessfully appealed the FIFA and UEFA bans to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which upheld the bans. On 20 September 2022, UEFA decided to ban Russia from participating in UEFA Euro 2024.
In response to the disqualification and suspension of Russia from all international football activities, especially within Europe, President of the Russian Football Union, Alexander Dyukov, implied that Russia should begin to discuss about moving to the AFC in order to continue competing in major international tournaments. In December 2022, the RFU Executive Committee opted to vote about the matter, but their attempt to move to the AFC did not materialise; instead, the RFU opted to create a working group with the aim of bringing Russia back to European competition. Still, Dyukov attended the AFC Congress in Manama in February 2023, which increased speculation about Russia's possible move to the AFC as the country was initially invited to compete in the CAFA Nations Cup, held by Central Asian nations that were formerly part of the Russian Empire and Soviet Union, which Russia later chose not to enter. On 5 April 2023, UEFA president, Aleksander Δeferin, decided to extend the ban, stating it was "very hard" to lift it until the war is over, ensuring Russia's isolation from European football process.
At the same time, Russia has also increasingly pivoted football games to Asia. From late 2022 to early 2023, Russia played six AFC opponents, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Iran, Iraq and Qatar. In response, critics claim that the AFC does not offer the "same amount of power like in Europe" when compared to "lucrative European competitions". Magomed Adiyev, the current head coach of Kazakhstan national football team, also claimed that Russia should not move and rather "wait until further development". However, Australia, Japan, South Korea, three major AFC members, has urged the AFC not to allow Russia in even if they decided on doing so. Still, according to Martin Lowe, the AFC has a significant number of members that are sympathetic to Russia, mainly in West and South Asia, as well as China, plus with several Central Asian countries, which could undermine Australia, Japan and South Korea's efforts due to their limited voices against the wider pro-Russian opinions in the AFC.
In December 2023, the Russian Football Union decided not to apply for the transfer to AFC at the time, as the FIFA ban from official international competitions remained in effect. The RFU agreed to re-consider the transfer in the future depending on FIFA or UEFA's actions.
In 2024, Russia decided to play against opponents from Asia once again, as they participated in the 2024 LPBank Cup held in Vietnam. Russia was scheduled to face Vietnam and Thailand. They defeated Vietnam 3β0, however, the match against Thailand was cancelled for safety reasons due to Typhoon Yagi. On 15 November, Russia recorded its biggest ever victory as they thrashed Brunei 11β0 at the Krasnodar Stadium, before defeating Syria 4β0 in the following friendly, adding the number of Asian opponents Russia have played to nine. On 20 November 2024, shortly after the conclusion of the 2024β25 UEFA Nations League group stages, Russia were confirmed to be banned from the entire 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification, which raised further questions over Russia's affiliation to UEFA.

Kits and crests
Following the break up of the Soviet Union, the Russian Football Union replaced the red and white Adidas kits with strips supplied by Reebok in red, blue and white reflecting the readopted national flag of Russia. In 1997, Nike decided on a simpler design used at the 2002 FIFA World Cup and Euro 2004, consisting of mainly a white base with blue trim and the opposite combination for the away kit. After failing to qualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Nike reintroduced red, this time as the home kit, while white being reversed as the away colour. This trend was continued by Adidas, who took over as suppliers in 2008. The 2009β10 season marked yet another change with the introduction of the maroon and gold as the primary home colours. A return to red and white was made in 2011. The edition of the kit used at Euro 2012 featured a red base with gold trim and a Russian flag positioned diagonally while the away kit was a minimalistic white with red trim. The 2014 FIFA World Cup kit made a return to the maroon and gold colour scheme, with Russian flag-coloured stripes built horizontally into the sleeves, the front includes the pattern in different shades of maroon depicting the Monument to the Conquerors of Space. The away 2014 kit was mostly white with blue trim, the top of the front below the trim shows the view of Earth from space. The sides and back of the collar were made in the colours of the Russian flag. The 2018 FIFA World Cup kit did not have much decorations in it, except for the coat of arms. Home red shirt had a very similar design to the uniform of Soviet Union Olympic football team it used at the 1988 Summer Olympics, the last major tournament as of 2018 that Russia or USSR won. The back side of the inside of the shirt had "Together to Victory" slogan printed below the collar.The Russia national team's official shirt supplier in 2008β22 was Adidas. The contract was unilaterally terminated by the German giant after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
JΓΆgel is currently the team's official sponsor starting from 2024. JΓΆgel's deal with the Russian national team took effect in early 2024 and lasts until 2026.
