CSKA (Russian: ЦСКА) is a station on the Bolshaya Koltsevaya and Kalininsko–Solntsevskaya lines of the Moscow Metro. It opened on 26 February 2018 as one of five initial stations on the new line.[3]

Passengers can make out-of-station transfers to Zorge on the Moscow Central Circle Line. The Metro plans to build a walkway between the stations which would make the connection time about 20 minutes.[4]

Name

The original name of the station was slated to be Khodynskoe Pole, after the open area where the station is located; however, fans of CSKA Moscow requested that the station be renamed “CSKA” after the sports clubs whose facilities are nearby.[5] In April 2016, the Mayor of Moscow, Sergey Sobyanin issued a decree to rename the station.[6] To further recognize CSKA, the station lobby includes sculptures of well-known CSKA athletes across the club’s three major sports: Vsevolod Bobrov, Denis Denisov, and Victor Khryapa.[7]
