Starting from Norilsk
The team will come out of the vacations on August 19 - on this day, a medical examination, physical fitness tests and the first training session will take place. By the way, the first stage of the preseason for the Army Team will take place at the Playground gym.
Before starting serious work, the red-and-blues will go to Norilsk to visit the owner of the club, Norilsk Nickel. The previous visit to the north of the Krasnoyarsk Territory dates back to June 2004, when CSKA representatives made such a long flight almost immediately after the end of the season. The program of events will again be rich, it will include master classes, autograph sessions and visits to the company's enterprises.
Upon returning to Moscow, the army team will focus on basketball. Due to the many epidemiological restrictions, the team plans only one trip abroad - to an international tournament in Cyprus. CSKA will also travel to St.Petersburg and participate in the Super Cup, a new tournament by the VTB League.
