The Russia national under-21 football team is overseen by the Russian Football Union. The team competed in the European Under-21 Championship, held every two years, and international friendly matches. The team also participated in the qualification for the Olympic Games.

On 28 February 2022, in accordance with a recommendation by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), FIFA and UEFA suspended the participation of Russia, including in the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The Russian Football Union unsuccessfully appealed the FIFA and UEFA bans to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which upheld the bans.

History

FIFA considers Russia the direct successor to the Soviet Union, and therefore the inheritor to all its records.
