April 29 of 1923 is considered the official birthday of the Central Army Sports Club. On that day, the first sports festival was held: a football match between military athletes for the championship of the capital.
The CSKA incorporates six regional branches in St. Petersburg, Samara, Sevastopol, Smolensk, Rostov-on-Don and Khabarovsk, as well as 19 sports centers and 37 children's sports schools and departments. In total, more than 10,000 athletes do sport in the Army Club under the guidance of 549 coach-instructors.
Today, CSKA fosters 65 sports (42 Olympic, 18 non-Olympic and 5 military-applied disciplines) and 29 sports that enter into the competition program of the International Council of Military Sports, providing training at 171 sports facilities virtually all over Russia - from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok, and from Severomorsk to Sevastopol.
The postage stamp provides an image of the logo of celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Central Army Sports Club.
