[1] The Federation was created in late 1934 by the decision of the Supreme Council of Physical Culture of the USSR (Russian: Высший Совет Физической Культуры, VSFK) as its sports section governing specifically football.

The general government and organization of sports in Soviet Union was intended to be conducted by the All-Union Council of Physical Culture (VSFK) that was formed in 1920.

[2] Later this argument joined couple of other groups among which were Komsomol that was in opposition to Podvoisky since 1922 (at times of Vsevobuch) and various trade unions.

[6] During parts of World War II (1941–1944), the main football events were suspended, but there were several regional competitions.

When the Soviet Union was liberated from the occupation of Nazi Germany in August 1944, the next national cup competition took place as the first official post-war football event.

In January 1957, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR awarded the Order of Lenin to Vsevolod Bobrov and Lev Yashin to commemorate their achievements in sport.

On 8 February 1992, the federation was recognized as the parent association of the newly established Russian Football Union (RFS).

In July of the same year, the executive committee of FIFA confirmed the succession of the Soviet federation as the Russian Football Union and readmitted it under the new name and statute.
