Football at the 1956 Spartakiad of the Peoples of the USSR

The football tournament at the 1956 Spartakiad of Peoples of the USSR was a preparatory competition for the Soviet Union national football team for the upcoming 1956 Summer Olympics. The competition took place on August 2 – 16, 1956 as part of the Spartakiad of Peoples of the USSR. The Soviet team has already qualified for the Olympic tournament by winning a play-off match up against Israel national football team earlier in July 1956 (Association football at the 1956 Summer Olympics – Men's qualification). The Soviet team competed under the name of the Moscow city team.
