PBC CSKA Moscow is a Russian professional basketball team that is based in Moscow, Russia. The club is a member of the VTB United League. It is often referred to as "Red Army" for its past affiliation with the Soviet Army. CSKA has won two of the last four titles in Europe's principal club competition, the Euroleague, making the final in all four seasons. In 2006, they defeated two-time defending champions Maccabi Tel Aviv 73–69 in the final at Sazka Arena in Prague.
CSKA lost in the 2007 final 93–91 to Panathinaikos on the Greens' home floor, the 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 has competed in 7 consecutive Euroleague Final Fours, which is an all-time record.
Well-known players that have played with the club over the years include: Andrei Kirilenko, Darius Songaila, Gordan Giriček, Alexander Volkov, Sergei Belov, Vladimir Tkachenko, Marcus Brown, and Theo Papaloukas.
History
CSKA has had a long history of success. They won the European Cup in 1961, 1963, 1969 and 1971; won the Soviet championship 25 times (including 16 in a row from 1969 to 1984); and won the Russian League title every year from 1992 through 2000 and 2003 through 2007. CSKA also made the Final Four of the Euroleague in 1996, 2004, and 2005, before winning the Euroleague in 2006.
The team became the first in the history of the Euroleague to go through the regular-season phase undefeated during the Euroleague 2004-05 season, and before the final four it had only lossed to one team: FC Barcelona. Though 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 3rd-place game. That sent them to the 2nd grade teams in the Euroleague draw, although they finished the league with the best record. That same year they also lost a game in the finals series of the Russian League, but they eventually got the Russian League crown.
In 2006, CSKA qualified for the Euroleague 2005-06 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 match. CSKA entered the Final Four on a roll as the only club to sweep their best-of-three quarterfinal series defeating Turkish League power Efes Pilsen. They defeated Barça in the Euroleague semis before defeating the high-powered offense of Maccabi Tel-Aviv of the Israeli League in the final on April 30, even though the overall record of Maccabi's games with CSKA Moscow favors the Israeli club.
The following year, they nearly repeated as Euroleague] champions, but wound up facing 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 a closely-fought battle.
In 2008, their Euroleague win put them in sole possession of second place for overall European titles. Only Real Madrid, with eight titles (all in the European Champions Cup era), have won more than CSKA's six. On October 14, 2008, the team played a NBA preseason game with the Toronto Raptors at Air Canada Centre in Toronto.
