Team
The Soviet Union Olympic football team was the national Olympic football team of the Soviet Union from 1952 to 1990. Until 1980 it was rather the Soviet Union national football B team. The team participated in all of the qualification football tournaments for Summer Olympics (except for 1980 when it qualified as hosts). Until 1992, when age restrictions were officially introduced, the Soviet Union used the first team both in qualification tournaments and finals except for 1960 and 1964 when the second national team was used for the qualification tournaments (the first team succeeded it in the finals in those years).
