The CIS national football team represented the Commonwealth of Independent States, the alliance of 15 newly formed sovereign states of the Soviet Union during the first half of 1992. Since the USSR national team had already booked a spot in the Euro 1992 by qualifying in 1991, the only legitimate way for them to take part in the competition was to take part as a unified team. As the Soviet Union ceased to exist on January 1, 1992, so did the Football Federation of USSR. However on January 11, 1992, the Association Football Federation of CIS was formed and approved by FIFA two days later. Though the federation was successfully able to put together a national team, plans for a domestic league were less successful, resulting in separate championships for all of the breakaway republics. A cap is an appearance for a select team, such as a school, county or international team in sports. ... Dmitri Viktorovich Kharine (born 16 Aug 1968 in Moscow) is a retired Russian footballer who played as a goalkeeper. ...
