In 1908, Sysoyev was introduced to football at age 22, while at his parents' dacha in Rastorguevo a visiting Englishman explained the rules to his neighbors. Sysoyev would be one of the first players at newly-formed "ZKS" football club in the Zamoskvorechye District of Moscow.[1]
Sysoyev played his only game for Russia on September 14, 1913 in a friendly against Norway and scored a goal in a 1:1 tie.
