PFC CSKA Moscow (Russian: Профессиональный футбольный клуб ЦСКА Москва́ or Central Sports Club of Army (Moscow)) is the football section of the CSKA sports club of Moscow, Russia. It won the Soviet championship seven times (1946, 1947, 1948, 1950, 1951, 1970, 1991), the Soviet Cup five times (1945, 1948, 1951, 1955, 1991), the Russian Cup in 2002 and 2005, won the Russian Premier League champions title in 2003, finishing second in 2004, and the Russian Super Cup in 2004.

Recently, the club received a major financial infusion from a sponsorship deal with Sibneft, an oil company owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. Abramovich will not take an ownership interest in the club; he is the current owner of English Premiership power Chelsea, and UEFA rules allow only one club controlled by any one entity (person or corporation) to participate in European club competition in a given season.

CSKA Moscow won the 2005 UEFA Cup by beating Sporting Lisbon 3–1 in the Final on Sporting's home field in Lisbon. It became the first Russian club to win a major European title.
