PBC CSKA Moscow^[1] (Russian: ПБК ЦСКА Москва) is a Russian professional basketball team based in Moscow, Russia. The club is a member of the VTB United League, and was a member of the EuroLeague. On February 28, 2022, EuroLeague Basketball suspended all Russian teams because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

CSKA won two titles between 2006 and 2008, as well as between 2016 and 2019, in Europe’s principal club competition, the EuroLeague, making the final in all seasons these years, and in total has advanced to the EuroLeague Final Four 18 times in the 21st century.^[2] CSKA is dominating in VTB United League, winning all but two title to date. With 8 EuroLeague championships, 1 NEBL championship, 51 home league championships, 7 home cups, 1 home Supercup and 10 VTB United League titles in total, CSKA is the most successful basketball team in Russia (former Soviet Union), and is also one of the most successful basketball teams in Europe.

In EuroLeague in 2006 CSKA won its first title in a long time, defeating Maccabi Tel Aviv 73–69 in the final in Prague. Next year the team lost in the 2007 final 93–91 to Panathinaikos on the Greens’ home floor, the Nikos Galis Olympic Indoor Hall in Athens. In 2008, they won a rematch of the 2006 final against Maccabi Tel Aviv 91–77 in Madrid. In 2009, they lost a rematch of the 2007 final against Panathinaikos 73–71 in Berlin. The club competed in eight consecutive EuroLeague Final Fours from 2003 to 2010, which is an all-time record. Later the team beat its own record by making it to nine consecutive Final Fours from 2012 to 2021 (with 2020 Final Four cancelled due to COVID-19 situation). CSKA then won its seventh title in 2016, after beating Fenerbahçe in the final by a score of 101–96 in overtime.^[3] The last European title up-to-date was won in 2019, when CSKA defeated Anadolu Efes in the final in Vitoria-Gasteiz.

Well-known players who have played for the club over the years include: Sergei Belov, Gennadi Volnov, Viktor Zubkov, Yuri Korneev, Vladimir Andreev, Anatoly Myshkin, Stanislav Yeryomin, Ivan Edeshko, Armenak Alachachian, Alzhan Zharmukhamedov, Heino Enden, Jaak Lipso, Sergei Tarakanov, Rimas Kurtinaitis, Vladimir Tkachenko, Sergei Bazarevich, Sasha Volkov, Andrei Kirilenko, Trajan Langdon, Darius Songaila, Gordan Giriček, Dragan Tarlać, Marcus Brown, Matjaž Smodiš, Sergei Panov, Aleksey Savrasenko, Ramūnas Šiškauskas, Theo Papaloukas, Nenad Krstić, J.

Nowadays, CSKA has the reputation for being one of the richest sports clubs in Europe, having been previously owned by Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov,^[4][5] and being currently owned by Norilsk Nickel.^[2]

History[edit]

1923–1991[edit]

CSKA was founded on 29 April 1923,^[6] then known as OPPV,^[7] when on that day soldiers and sportsmen fought in football against each other for the first place of Moscow. «OPPV», which means Опытно-показательная военно-спортивная площадка всевобуча, a department in the General military education service, was the first central sports department of the Red Army. It was based on the pre-revolutionary «Community of Amateur Skiers».^[6]

The first success of the basketball department came at the 1924 Soviet League championship, which was played between cities, not clubs. Two more titles followed in 1928 and 1935. In 1938, the Soviet League championship was played between clubs, and CSKA under the name CDKA (Центральный дом Красной Армии, Central House of the Red Army) debuted there. Stalin’s son, Vasily, then founded the club VVS MVO (Военно-Воздушные Силы Московского Военного Округа), with CDKA merging with it. By the end of the Great Patriotic War, CSKA established itself as one of the most respected Soviet basketball teams.^[6]

In 1953 and 1954, the club was renamed CDSA (Центральный дом Советской Армии, Central House of the Soviet Army), between 1955 and 1960, it was known as CSK MO, and finally in 1960, it received its current name CSKA (Центральный спортивный клуб Армии, Central Sports Club of the Army).^[6]

CSKA won the FIBA European Champions Cup (now called EuroLeague) title, in 1961, 1963, 1969, and 1971. They also won the Soviet League championship 24 times (1945, 1960–1962, 1964–1966, 1969–1974, 1976–1984, 1988, and 1990).^{[citation needed]}

1992–2008[edit]

CSKA won the Russian League title every year from 1992 through 2000, and every year from 2003 to 2008. CSKA also made the 1996 EuroLeague Final Four. They also made the 2001 SuproLeague Final Four, the 2003 EuroLeague Final Four, the 2004 EuroLeague Final Four and the 2005 EuroLeague Final Four, before finally winning the EuroLeague championship at the 2006 EuroLeague Final Four.^{[citation needed]}

In the 2004–05 season, CSKA eventually lost in the semifinals on their home court to Spanish League club TAU Cerámica, and to Panathinaikos, of the Greek League, in the third-place game. That sent them to the 2nd grade teams in the EuroLeague draw. That same year they also lost a game in the finals series of the Russian League, but they eventually got the Russian League crown.^{[citation needed]}

In 2006, CSKA qualified for the 2004–05 EuroLeague Top 16, by finishing third in their group. They finished at the top of their Top 16 group, being denied a perfect record at Tau, in their final game. CSKA entered the 2006 EuroLeague Final Four on a roll, as the only club to sweep their best-of-three quarterfinal series, by defeating Turkish Super League power Efes Pilsen. They defeated Barça in the EuroLeague semis, before defeating the high-powered offense of Maccabi Tel Aviv, of the Israeli Basketball Super League, in the final, on April 30, even though the overall record of Maccabi’s games with CSKA Moscow favored the Israeli club.

The following year, they faced Panathinaikos in the final, on the Greek team’s home floor, OAKA Indoor Hall, which had been designated more than a year earlier as the site for that year’s Final Four. Panathinaikos won. In 2008, their EuroLeague championship win at the 2008 EuroLeague Final Four, put them in sole possession of second place for overall top-tier level European-wide titles. On October 14, 2008, the team played an NBA preseason game against the Toronto Raptors, at Air Canada Centre, in Toronto.^{[citation needed]}

2009–2021[edit]

CSKA won the Russian League title every year from 2009 through 2018, continuing to add to their streak of consecutive Russian League titles won every year since 2003 overall. Since the foundation of the VTB United League in 2008, CSKA has dominated the league, winning the title in 10 of its first 11 seasons (2010, 2012–2019, 2021), excluding the league’s Promotional Cup in 2008.^{[citation needed]}

EuroLeague success, however, continued to elude the team. From 2009, CSKA had played in the Final Four every single year except 2011. However, CSKA suffered multiple heartbreaks. CSKA struggled, in particular playing Olympiacos, who beat CSKA in the EuroLeague finals in 2012, and eliminated CSKA in 2013 and 2015. In 2014, CSKA lost a shocker to Maccabi Tel Aviv. CSKA won 3rd place in 2010, 2013 and 2015.

In the 2015–16 season, CSKA won its 7th EuroLeague championship. At the Berlin Final Four, CSKA Moscow defeated Fenerbahçe, by a score of 101–96, after overtime.^[8] The star player of CSKA was Nando de Colo, who was named both the season EuroLeague MVP, and the EuroLeague Final Four MVP.^[9][10] In 2016–2017, CSKA reached the Final Four again, but once again lost to Olympiacos in the semifinals. CSKA beat Real Madrid to win 3rd place.

In 2017-18 season CSKA finished with a 24–6 record. Qualifying to the Final Four, however, CSKA suffered a complete fiasco — losing to Real Madrid in the semifinals, and to BC Žalgiris in the 3rd place game. In the VTB United League, CSKA secured their 9th title after defeating Khimki 95:84 in the 2018 Final Four.^{[citation needed]}

In the next season CSKA finished at the 2nd place of the regular season, securing its 17th Final Four appearance in the 21 century. In Vitoria-Gasteiz the club made a comeback during the semifinals against Real Madrid and beat Anadolu Efes in the final, achieving 8th title in club’s history. CSKA also won the VTB United League, sweeping Khimki 3:0 in the finals.^{[citation needed]}

There were changes in the 2019–20 season. Defending champion CSKA Moscow played steady until November, when they suffered four losses in a row, stepping down to the 6th position at worst. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, CSKA and all other teams quit playing after the 28th round; there was no winner declared.^{[citation needed]} At the time of the season’s stopping, CSKA was behind Khimki in the VTB standings. The tournament was also stopped with no winner being announced.^{[citation needed]}

In the 2020-2021 season, CSKA again lead in the EuroLeague standings for much of the season, before repeated conflicts by Itoudis, CSKA management, and Mike James resulted in James, team leader, leaving the team in March. While losing the first place in the standings to FC Barcelona, CSKA went all the way to the EuroLeague Final Four. CSKA, however, lost to Efes in the semifinals, and were beaten by EA7 Emporio Armani Milan in the third place game, thus finishing the season in disappointing 4th place. In the VTB United League, despite finishing the regular season in just 4th place, CSKA beat Nizhny Novgorod 2-1 in the quarterfinals, regular season winners Zenit Saint Petersburg 3-1 in the semifinals, and UNICS Kazan 3-0 in the finals to win the VTB United League once again.^{[citation needed]}

2022–present[edit]

In early 2022, upon the outbreak of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Tornike Shengelia from Georgia (saying: «Everyone says it was a difficult or big decision, but it was not. First of all, I felt that my family was threatened, even though the war was not in Moscow. With war you never know what will occur, one second is enough for something to happen. The first thing I wanted to do was to send my family away and then I made the decision to depart too.»), Johannes Voigtmann from Germany («I can’t reconcile myself playing for a Russian team…. The Russian president is responsible for a brutal war, because of which innocent people are dying in Ukraine. Millions of people have to flee their homes, and children, in particular, are losing their homes or even their lives. I just couldn’t stay in Russia and carry on as if nothing had happened….»^[11]), Gabriel Lundberg from Denmark, Marius Grigonis from Lithuania, Italian-American Daniel Hackett, and Russian-American Joel Bolomboy all left the team.^[12][13][14] Canadian-Slovenian Kevin Pangos who signed with CSKA one day before the war started never joined the team. The team informed them all that the departure means violating of their contracts and reached the agreements on terminating the contracts with all but one player, Joel Bolomboy, who was given a letter of clearance by FIBA to sign for Olympiacos Piraeus when his CSKA contract expired in summer of 2022. CSKA informed about the intention to sue Bolomboy for breaching his CSKA agreement earlier.^[15]

On February 28, 2022, EuroLeague Basketball suspended the team because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.^[16] On March 22, 2022, CSKA, UNICS Kazan, and Zenit St. Petersburg were disqualified from the EuroLeague. In October 2022, CSKA Moscow president Andrey Vatutin said: «Owners and sponsors are in crisis and are not interested in spending big money just to participate in the VTB league – therefore the budget is reduced. We have left the international scene, so CSKA’s role in world basketball is declining.»^[17]

In the VTB United League, CSKA made the finals once again. Despite leading 3-1 in the finals, CSKA lost the last three games to Zenit St. Petersburg, who won the VTB title with a 4-3 series win — for the first time since 2010-2011, CSKA did not win the competition. Greek head coach Dimitrios Itoudis left the team in June 2022, immediately after losing the final game to Zenit, with one year remaining on his contract.^[18]

Home arenas[edit]

• 

  Interior of the 5,500 seat Universal Sports Hall CSKA.

• 

  Interior of the 13,344 seat Megasport Arena.

CSKA played all of its home games, both national domestic league games, and European league games, at the 5,500 seat Universal Sports Hall CSKA, from 1979 to 2015. They also played a home EuroLeague game at the 13,344 seat Megasport Arena, on January 23, 2008. Starting with the 2015–16 season, CSKA began regularly playing its home EuroLeague games at Megasport Arena, while still playing at CSKA Universal Sports Hall for VTB United League games. Kaliningrad’s Yantarny Sports Palace was used as a substitute for their round of 16 and 17 home games during the 2019-20 EuroLeague season.^[19]

Андрей Ватутин родился 25 июля 1973 года в городе Москва. На становление личности большое влияние оказал отец, Владимир Алексеевич, талантливый журналист и редактор. Андрей часто оказывался с отцом на спортивных мероприятиях, интересовался спортом и даже думал о спортивной карьере. Но после школы поступил на факультет журналистики МГУ.

После окончания вуза, в 1995 году, Андрей Ватутин работал спортивным обозревателем ИТАР-ТАСС. В 1996 году сосредоточил внимание на баскетболе, заняв должность пресс-атташе Российской Федерации Баскетбола. В 2000 году назначен главным помощником директора в ПБК «Урал-Грейт» в городе Пермь. Там проработал два года. За это время клуб дважды становился чемпионом Российской Федерации.

В 2002 году Андрей Владимирович перешел в ЦСКА на должность заместителем гендиректора, проработав им четыре года. Скоро занял пост вице-президентом клуба ЦСКА. Руководство ни разу не пожалело о его назначении. За время работы Ватутина клуб ЦСКА являлся постоянным чемпионом Российской Федерации. В сезоне 2005/06 года «армейцы» выиграли трофей Евролиги, что  произошло впервые в истории российского баскетбола.

Весной 2007 года занял должность гендиректором ЦСКА, а в июле назначается президентом. Дебютный для Ватутина сезон в качестве гендиректора ЦСКА получился идеальным — команда уверенно победила в «Финале четырех» Евролиги. В 2010 году команда одержала победу над «Кливлендом» в выставочном матче — первая победа европейского клуба во встрече с представителем НБА на площадке США.

Летом 2010 года грянул скандал вокруг судейства матчей серии плей-офф между московским «Динамо» и «Локомотивом-Кубанью». Клубы вышли из РФБ и создали Профессиональную баскетбольную лигу. Это был первый независимый официальный турнир в игровых видах, и его организация легла на менеджмент ЦСКА. Ватутин занял пост главы лиги. Профессиональная Баскетбольная Лига сумела привлечь титульного спонсора и провела два зрелищных сезона, которые надолго запомнились болельщикам. Также заслугой руководителя стало вхождение Профессиональной Баскетбольной Лиги в УЛЕБ-Союз европейских баскетбольных лиг. Такого признания российская организация удостоилась впервые в истории.

В 2012 году Профессиональная Баскетбольная Лига фактически вошла в структуру Единой лиги ВТБ, передав ей множество наработок. Ватутин, являвшийся вице-президентом Единой лиги с момента ее основания, покинул пост в августе 2014 года, оставшись на должности гендиректора.

В 2016 году во многом благодаря усилиям президента ПБК ЦСКА Андрея Владимировича Ватутина армейская команда в третий раз завоевала титул чемпионов Евролиги.

Награжден орденом Дружбы, орденом Почёта, медалями МО РФ и почетной грамотой Президента РФ. Является лауреатом премии Sport&Style Award в номинации «Менеджер года».

Баскетбольный ЦСКА возглавил македонский специалист Эмиль Райкович

Македонский специалист Эмиль Райкович возглавил баскетбольный ЦСКА. Срок соглашения рассчитан до конца сезона 2023/24

Главным тренером московского баскетбольного клуба ЦСКА стал македонский специалист Эмиль Райкович. Как сообщается на официальном сайте армейцев, 43-летний тренер подписал контракт сроком на два года.

По итогам сезона 2018/19 Райкович был признан лучшим тренером Единой лиги ВТБ.

Минувший сезон Райкович провел в «Автодоре». Под его руководством саратовская команда завершила 2021 год год на первом месте в регулярном чемпионате.

После поражения ЦСКА в финале Единой лиги ВТБ от санкт-петербургского «Зенита» в отставку ушел главный тренер команды грек Димитрис Итудис, который занимал свой пост с 2014 года.

В марте ЦСКА разрешил Итудису возглавить сборную Греции на Евробаскете, который пройдет в сентябре.

Грек тренировал ЦСКА с 2014 года, вместе с командой он шесть раз выиграл Единую лигу ВТБ и дважды — Евролигу.

PBC CSKA Moscow^[1] (Russian: ПБК ЦСКА Москва) is a Russian professional basketball team based in Moscow, Russia. The club is a member of the VTB United League, and was a member of the EuroLeague. On February 28, 2022, EuroLeague Basketball suspended all Russian teams because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

CSKA won two titles between 2006 and 2008, as well as between 2016 and 2019, in Europe’s principal club competition, the EuroLeague, making the final in all seasons these years, and in total has advanced to the EuroLeague Final Four 18 times in the 21st century.^[2]

CSKA is dominating in VTB United League, winning all but two title to date. With 8 EuroLeague championships, 1 NEBL championship, 51 home league championships, 7 home cups, 1 home Supercup and 10 VTB United League titles in total, CSKA is the most successful basketball team in Russia (former Soviet Union), and is also one of the most successful basketball teams in Europe.

In EuroLeague in 2006 CSKA won its first title in a long time, defeating Maccabi Tel Aviv 73–69 in the final in Prague. Next year the team lost in the 2007 final 93–91 to Panathinaikos on the Greens’ home floor, the Nikos Galis Olympic Indoor Hall in Athens. In 2008, they won a rematch of the 2006 final against Maccabi 91–77 in Madrid. In 2009, they lost a rematch of the 2007 final against Panathinaikos 73–71 in Berlin. The club competed in 8 consecutive EuroLeague Final Fours from 2003 to 2010, which is an all-time record. Later the team beat its own record by making it to 9 consecutive Final Fours from 2012 to 2021 (with 2020 Final Four cancelled due to COVID-19 situation). CSKA then won its seventh title in 2016, after beating Fenerbahçe in the final, by a score of 101–96, in overtime.^[3] The last European title up-to-date was won in 2019, when CSKA defeated Anadolu Efes in the final in Vitoria-Gasteiz.

Well-known players who have played for the club over the years include: Sergei Belov, Gennadi Volnov, Viktor Zubkov, Yuri Korneev, Vladimir Andreev, Anatoly Myshkin, Stanislav Yeryomin, Ivan Edeshko, Armenak Alachachian, Alzhan Zharmukhamedov, Heino Enden, Jaak Lipso, Sergei Tarakanov, Rimas Kurtinaitis, Vladimir Tkachenko, Sergei Bazarevich, Sasha Volkov, Andrei Kirilenko, Trajan Langdon, Darius Songaila, Gordan Giriček, Dragan Tarlać, Marcus Brown, Matjaž Smodiš, Sergei Panov, Aleksey Savrasenko, Ramūnas Šiškauskas, Theo Papaloukas, Nenad Krstić, J.

Nowadays, CSKA has the reputation for being one of the richest sports clubs in Europe, having been previously owned by Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov,^[4][5] and being currently owned by Norilsk Nickel.^[2]

History[edit]

1923–1991[edit]

CSKA was founded on 29 April 1923,^[6] then known as OPPV,^[7] when on that day soldiers and sportsmen fought in football against each other for the first place of Moscow. «OPPV», which means Опытно-показательная военно-спортивная площадка всевобуча, a department in the General military education service, was the first central sports department of the Red Army. It was based on the pre-revolutionary «Community of Amateur Skiers».^[6]

The first success of the basketball department came at the 1924 Soviet League championship, which was played between cities, not clubs. Two more titles followed in 1928 and 1935. In 1938, the Soviet League championship was played between clubs, and CSKA under the name CDKA (Центральный дом Красной Армии, Central House of the Red Army) debuted there. Stalin’s son, Vasily, then founded the club VVS MVO (Военно-Воздушные Силы Московского Военного Округа), with CDKA merging with it. By the end of the Great Patriotic War, CSKA established itself as one of the most respected Soviet basketball teams.^[6]

In 1953 and 1954, the club was renamed CDSA (Центральный дом Советской Армии, Central House of the Soviet Army), between 1955 and 1960, it was known as CSK MO, and finally in 1960, it received its current name CSKA (Центральный спортивный клуб Армии, Central Sports Club of the Army).^[6]

CSKA won the FIBA European Champions Cup (now called EuroLeague) title, in 1961, 1963, 1969, and 1971. They also won the Soviet League championship 24 times (1945, 1960–1962, 1964–1966, 1969–1974, 1976–1984, 1988, and 1990).^{[citation needed]}

1992–2008[edit]

CSKA won the Russian League title every year from 1992 through 2000, and every year from 2003 to 2008. CSKA also made the 1996 EuroLeague Final Four. They also made the 2001 SuproLeague Final Four, the 2003 EuroLeague Final Four, the 2004 EuroLeague Final Four and the 2005 EuroLeague Final Four, before finally winning the EuroLeague championship at the 2006 EuroLeague Final Four.^{[citation needed]}

In the 2004–05 season, CSKA eventually lost in the semifinals on their home court to Spanish League club TAU Cerámica, and to Panathinaikos, of the Greek League, in the third-place game. That sent them to the 2nd grade teams in the EuroLeague draw. That same year they also lost a game in the finals series of the Russian League, but they eventually got the Russian League crown.^{[citation needed]}

In 2006, CSKA qualified for the 2004–05 EuroLeague Top 16, by finishing third in their group. They finished at the top of their Top 16 group, being denied a perfect record at Tau, in their final game. CSKA entered the 2006 EuroLeague Final Four on a roll, as the only club to sweep their best-of-three quarterfinal series, by defeating Turkish Super League power Efes Pilsen. They defeated Barça in the EuroLeague semis, before defeating the high-powered offense of Maccabi Tel Aviv, of the Israeli Basketball Super League, in the final, on April 30, even though the overall record of Maccabi’s games with CSKA Moscow favored the Israeli club.

The following year, they faced Panathinaikos in the final, on the Greek team’s home floor, OAKA Indoor Hall, which had been designated more than a year earlier as the site for that year’s Final Four. Panathinaikos won. In 2008, their EuroLeague championship win at the 2008 EuroLeague Final Four, put them in sole possession of second place for overall top-tier level European-wide titles. On October 14, 2008, the team played an NBA preseason game against the Toronto Raptors, at Air Canada Centre, in Toronto.^{[citation needed]}

2009–2021[edit]

CSKA won the Russian League title every year from 2009 through 2018, continuing to add to their streak of consecutive Russian League titles won every year since 2003 overall. Since the foundation of the VTB United League in 2008, CSKA has dominated the league, winning the title in 10 of its first 11 seasons (2010, 2012–2019, 2021), excluding the league’s Promotional Cup in 2008.^{[citation needed]}

EuroLeague success, however, continued to elude the team. From 2009, CSKA had played in the Final Four every single year except 2011. However, CSKA suffered multiple heartbreaks. CSKA struggled, in particular playing Olympiacos, who beat CSKA in the EuroLeague finals in 2012, and eliminated CSKA in 2013 and 2015. In 2014, CSKA lost a shocker to Maccabi Tel Aviv. CSKA won 3rd place in 2010, 2013 and 2015.

In the 2015–16 season, CSKA won its 7th EuroLeague championship. At the Berlin Final Four, CSKA Moscow defeated Fenerbahçe, by a score of 101–96, after overtime.^[8] The star player of CSKA was Nando de Colo, who was named both the season EuroLeague MVP, and the EuroLeague Final Four MVP.^[9][10] In 2016–2017, CSKA reached the Final Four again, but once again lost to Olympiacos in the semifinals. CSKA beat Real Madrid to win 3rd place.

In 2017-18 season CSKA guaranteed its first place of the regular season, beating Olympiacos at home on March 22 with a score of 89:81, and finished with a 24–6 record. Qualifying to the Final Four once again, however, CSKA suffered a complete fiasco — losing to Real Madrid in the semifinals, and to BC Žalgiris in the 3rd place game. In the VTB United League, CSKA secured their 9th title after defeating Khimki 95:84 in the 2018 Final Four.^{[citation needed]}

In the next season CSKA finished at the 2nd place of the regular season, securing its 17th Final Four appearance in the 21 century. In Vitoria-Gasteiz the club made a comeback during the semifinals against Real Madrid and beat Anadolu Efes in the final, achieving 8th title in club’s history. CSKA also won the VTB United League, sweeping Khimki 3:0 in the finals.^{[citation needed]}

There were changes in the 2019–20 season. Defending champion CSKA Moscow played steady until November, when they suffered four losses in a row, stepping down to the 6th position at worst. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, CSKA and all other teams quit playing after the 28th round; there was no winner declared.^{[citation needed]} At the time of the season’s stopping, CSKA was behind Khimki in the VTB standings. The tournament was also stopped with no winner being announced.^{[citation needed]}

In the 2020-2021 season, CSKA again lead in the EuroLeague standings for much of the season, before repeated conflicts by Itoudis, CSKA management, and Mike James resulted in James, team leader, leaving the team in March. While losing the first place in the standings to FC Barcelona, CSKA went all the way to the EuroLeague Final Four. CSKA, however, lost to Efes in the semifinals, and were beaten by EA7 Emporio Armani Milan in the third place game, thus finishing the season in disappointing 4th place. In the VTB United League, despite finishing the regular season in just 4th place, CSKA beat Nizhny Novgorod 2-1 in the quarterfinals, regular season winners Zenit Saint Petersburg 3-1 in the semifinals, and UNICS Kazan 3-0 in the finals to win the VTB United League once again.^{[citation needed]}

2022–present[edit]

CSKA changed much of their roster during the summer. For much of the 2021-2022 season, CSKA fought for a spot in the EuroLeague playoffs.^{[citation needed]}

In early 2022, upon the outbreak of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Tornike Shengelia from Georgia (saying: «Everyone says it was a difficult or big decision, but it was not. First of all, I felt that my family was threatened, even though the war was not in Moscow. With war you never know what will occur, one second is enough for something to happen. The first thing I wanted to do was to send my family away and then I made the decision to depart too.»), Johannes Voigtmann from Germany («I can’t reconcile myself playing for a Russian team…. The Russian president is responsible for a brutal war, because of which innocent people are dying in Ukraine. Millions of people have to flee their homes, and children, in particular, are losing their homes or even their lives. I just couldn’t stay in Russia and carry on as if nothing had happened….»^[11]), Gabriel Lundberg from Denmark, Marius Grigonis from Lithuania, Italian-American Daniel Hackett, and Russian-American Joel Bolomboy all left the team.^[12][13][14] Canadian-Slovenian Kevin Pangos who signed with CSKA one day before the war started never joined the team. The team informed them all that the departure means violating of their contracts and reached the agreements on terminating the contracts with all but one player, Joel Bolomboy, who was given a letter of clearance by FIBA to sign for Olympiacos Piraeus when his CSKA contract expired in summer of 2022. CSKA informed about the intention to sue Bolomboy for breaching his CSKA agreement earlier.^[15]

On February 28, 2022, EuroLeague Basketball suspended the team because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.^[16] On March 22, 2022, CSKA, UNICS Kazan, and Zenit St. Petersburg were disqualified from the EuroLeague. In October 2022, CSKA Moscow president Andrey Vatutin said: «Owners and sponsors are in crisis and are not interested in spending big money just to participate in the VTB league – therefore the budget is reduced. We have left the international scene, so CSKA’s role in world basketball is declining.»^[17]

In the VTB United League, CSKA made the finals once again. Despite leading 3-1 in the finals, CSKA lost the last three games to Zenit St. Petersburg, who won the VTB title with a 4-3 series win — for the first time since 2010-2011, CSKA did not win the competition. Greek head coach Dimitrios Itoudis left the team in June 2022, immediately after losing the final game to Zenit, with one year remaining on his contract.^[18]

Home arenas[edit]

CSKA played all of its home games, both national domestic league games, and European league games, at the 5,500 seat Universal Sports Hall CSKA, from 1979 to 2015. They also played a home EuroLeague game at the 13,344 seat Megasport Arena, on January 23, 2008. Starting with the 2015–16 season, CSKA began regularly playing its home EuroLeague games at Megasport Arena, while still playing at CSKA Universal Sports Hall for VTB United League games. Kaliningrad’s Yantarny Sports Palace was used as a substitute for their round of 16 and 17 home games during the 2019-20 EuroLeague season.^[19]

Since 2021, due to the demolition of USH CSKA, the club decided to use Megasport as its main arena, and Moscow Basket Hall as its reserve.^{[citation needed]}

«Мы с ЦСКА решили пойти разными путями». Прощальная пресс-конференция Димитриса Итудиса

У баскетбольного ЦСКА в следующем сезоне будет новый тренер.

19 июня 2014 года греческий тренер Димитрис Итудис возглавил ЦСКА. Спустя почти 8 лет он ставит точку в отношениях с московской командой. С красно-синими он дважды побеждал в Евролиге, много раз становился чемпионом Единой лиги ВТБ. Объявил о своём уходе Итудис на пресс-конференции после поражения от «Зенита» в седьмом матче финальной серии Лиги ВТБ. Решающий матч, как и встреча с журналистами, стал для него последним в качестве наставника ЦСКА.

— Прежде всего, добрый вечер и поздравления «Зениту». Соперники победили в этой серии заслуженно, они играли лучше — особенно в последних матчах. Это была тяжелая серия, очень интересная для болельщиков, для тренеров и игроков. Много деталей, много хороших вещей… плохих тоже, но это часть игры. Игра — это всегда жизнь.

Для меня было честью общаться с вами и обмениваться знаниями. Говорю вам, повторюсь, не «до свидания», а «увидимся». На связи, мы на связи. Это всё. Не хочу давать волю эмоциям. Спасибо большое!
