At the time the draw was made on 8 December 1991, Russia was known as the Soviet Union and competed at UEFA Euro 1992 as the Commonwealth of Independent States. Following the USSR's dissolution, Ukraine proposed to arrange a separate tournament for all successors of the Soviet Union. Georgia and Armenia supported the proposal but it was blocked by Russia.[3] The final decision on succession was taken on 1 June 1992 at the FIFA Executive Committee meeting in Stockholm.[3][2]
