About PFC CSKA Moscow

PFC CSKA Moscow is a Russian professional football club based in Moscow and one of the most historically successful teams in the country. Founded in 1911, the club is traditionally associated with the Soviet Army, which strongly influenced its identity and development during the Soviet era. CSKA is one of the oldest football institutions in Russia and has played a major role in both Soviet and Russian football history.

During the Soviet period, CSKA achieved significant success, winning multiple Soviet Top League titles and Soviet Cups, particularly in the mid-20th century and again in 1991. The club built a reputation as a strong, disciplined side and consistently competed against other major Soviet clubs. After the dissolution of the USSR, CSKA adapted to the new Russian football system and gradually returned to the top level of competition.

In the modern era, CSKA Moscow has remained one of Russia’s leading clubs, winning several Russian Premier League titles and domestic cups. A major milestone in its history came in 2005, when CSKA became the first Russian club to win a major European trophy by claiming the UEFA Cup. The team continues to compete at the top level of Russian football and is considered one of the country’s most decorated and influential clubs.
