Football competitions among women were conducted before, but in 1990 there was established an official championship. In 1989 there took place competitions among teams of trade unions involving some 60 teams. After two seasons the championship was discontinued due to dissolution of the Soviet Union. Most of the Russian-based clubs formed the new Russian Women's Football Championship; clubs based in former Soviet republics based in Europe formed their own leagues, while those in Central Asia either dissolved or moved to Russia, as local federations did not allow women's football for many years, or none at all to date.
