Stadium
CSKA has its own stadium called "Light-Athletic Football Complex CSKA" and abbreviated as LFK CSKA. Its capacity is very small for a club of its stature; no more than 4,600 spectators. This is one of the primary reasons the club uses other venues in the city. Their new stadium broke ground in 2008 in place of the former Army's stadium the Grigory Fedotov Stadium and is due to be completed in 2013. In the meantime, CSKA has been playing in Arena Khimki since 2010. They are currently sharing the stadium with rivals Dynamo Moscow, as they too are awaiting the completion of their own new stadium.
