There were many similar Army clubs around USSR, with the most prestigious one being in Moscow. Since 1957 all of them changed names to SKVO (Sport Club of Military Region). In 1960 it became SKA (Sport Club of Army) for all Army clubs except the Moscow's one, which became CSKA (the Central Sport Club of the Army).
