CIS 1992 Home #8 Kanchelskis

The 1992 CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) national team was a temporary team formed following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. This home shirt, with the number 8 worn by Andrei Kanchelskis, is a rare piece of football history. Kanchelskis, who was playing for Manchester United at the time, was one of the standout players for the CIS team during the UEFA Euro 1992 tournament. Although the CIS struggled and did not progress beyond the group stage, the team featured many players who would later represent the newly independent nations. This shirt represents a unique chapter in international football as the former Soviet Union transitioned to individual national teams.
