Central Sports Club of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Центральний Спортивний Клуб Збройних Сил України, transliteration: Tsentralnyi Sportyvnyi Klub Zbroinykh Syl Ukrayiny) or CSK ZSU (Ukrainian: ЦСК ЗСУ) is a sports club that was created on December 15, 1992 based on the Soviet Sports Club of Army (SKA Kyiv) in Kyiv (regional center of CKA), which dissolved after the fall of the Soviet Union.The predecessor of CSK ZSU was the Sports Club of the Kyiv Military District (SK KVO) which was established on April 1, 1957 by the district's administration of military training as a regional department of the Sports Society of Armed Forces of the USSR.However after its reconstruction in 1956, it was handed to the administration of military training and was transferred to the sports club only on April 1, 1958, a year later.In 1992 the Kyiv Military District was dissolved, some of its components were moved to Russia, while others were transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.The former SKA Kyiv was discontinued and all its assets were transferred into the newly formed the Central Sports Club which absorbed all the Soviet Army centers based in Ukraine such as Odesa, Lviv, and Sevastopol (every one corresponds to the administrative center of a Soviet military district).
