Armed Forces (sports society)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Armed Forces sports society (Russian: Вооруженные Силы (ВС)) was one of the largest sports societies in the USSR. In the Soviet era all CSKA and SKA teams that resided in the Soviet Union belonged to the Armed Forces sports society. There was one SKA club in each military district and naval fleet of the USSR, and a central club - CSKA.[1] SKAs maintained several teams for different sports disciplines, as did CSKA. Armed Forces sports society functioned under the leadership of the Sports Committee of the Ministry of Defence of the USSR and sports committees of military districts and naval fleets.[1]
