The USSR women's national football team represented the Soviet Union in international women's football. The team was controlled by the Football Federation of the Soviet Union. It was founded in 1990, so it was a short-lived national team due to the dissolution of the Soviet Union the following year. Oleg Lapshin served as the team's coach during its 20 months of existence. Socially conservative views in the Soviet Union negatively affected the development of women's football in the country.
