A governing body solely for Russian football was reintroduced in 1935 as the football section of the Sports Ministry undertook to centralise all soccer-related activity in the country. This functioned until 1959 when the Football Federation of the USSR (FFUSSR) was born as an independent body. In February 1992 the RFS was formed, assuming the duties and functions of the former FFUSSR.
