Armed Forces (sports society)

Armed Forces (sports society)

The Armed Forces sports society ( _ru. 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.Great Soviet Encyclopedia, 3rd edition, entry on "СССР. Физическая культура и спорт", available online [http://slovari.yandex.ru/art.xml?art=bse/00075/35300.htm here] ] 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.
