The football tournament at the 1979 Summer Spartakiad of the Peoples of the USSR was a preparatory competition for the Soviet Union Olympic football team for the upcoming 1980 Summer Olympics. The competition took place on July 20 through August 5, 1979 as part of the Spartakiad of Peoples of the USSR.
Out of all the union republics, the Estonian SSR was not participating, while Russia was represented with 3 teams: Moscow City, Leningrad City and Russian Federation.
The competition took place during the mid-season break of the 1979 Soviet Union football championship. Less than a week later after the tournament, an aircraft with Pakhtakor Tashkent players who were traveling to the away game against Dinamo Minsk crashed in the sky over Dniprodzerzhynsk.
