CSKA Moscow (Russian:ЦСКА Москва) is a Russian sports club based in Moscow. It was created in 1911 in theRussian Empire on base of OLLS (Skiing Society, founded 1901). Later, during theSoviet era, it was the central part of theArmed Forces sports society, which in turn was associated with theSoviet Army; because of this, it was popularly referred to in the West as "Red Army" or "the Red Army team". The historical CSKA sport club (a.k.a. "Big CSKA") is still a department of theRussian Defense Ministry.
Following the 2023 publication of theInternational Olympic Committee's criteria for the reinstatement of Russian athletes (they were suspended in February 2022 due to theRussian invasion of Ukraine), athletes affiliated with CSKA Moscow were officially prohibited from attending theOlympic Games until at least 2026.[1]

The club was created as the "Experimentally demonstrative Military Sports field ofVsevobuch" (OPPV) in February 1923 by the Central Administration of Military Training for workers based on the pre-revolutionary "Society of Ski Sports Amateurs" (OLLS). The field was located at theSokolniki Park in Moscow. On April 29, 1923, the football team of the club has played its first game in the Moscow city championship. In February 1928 the club was included to the newly established the Frunze Central House of Red Army (CDKA) as a department of physical culture and sports. In October 1953 all sports centers of CDKA and Air Force of theMoscow Military District were included in the Central Sports Club of Ministry of Defense (CSK MO), which in April 1960 it was renamed into its more common title - the Central Sports Club of the Armed Forces (CSKA), which the Moscow branch belonged as the flagship and most elite of all the clubs within the Soviet Armed Forces.[citation needed]
