During the Soviet Union or USSR era PFC CSKA Moscow used to be the official football team of the Russian army, but since the dissolution of the Soviet Union it is now owned by private stakeholders with Russian Ministry of Defence is also a shareholder. Top Russian businessman Roman Abramovich’s company Sibneft Corporation was the top sponsors of the team between 2004 and 2006.

The PFC CSKA Moscow team is also nicknamed Horses because the first home ground they used to play was built on the old racecourse or hippodrome in Moscow. When the team first called as Horses it was considered to be an offensive word, but later it became so popular that the club and the players have accepted it and it is now also known as Army Men and Red Blues as well.

PFC CSKA Moscow owns a Light Athletic Football Complex CSKA but it has only limited capacity with 4600 fans. Hence the club uses other stadiums for their matches. Currently they are sharing the Arena Khimki as their home ground with Dynamo Moscow football club. In 2007 the club has decided to have a new stadium after breaking the former Russian Army stadium the Grigory Fedotov Stadium and the new stadium is due in 2015.
