Captain stays for another year!

The captain is one of the main old-timers of modern CSKA, and in general one of the club's leaders in the number of games played in red and blue colors. Antonov now occupies the sixth position (440 games) of the historical list, next only to the five players who played more than half a thousand games (Kurbanov - 805, Vorontsevich - 696, Khryapa - 611, Panov - 556, Holden - 519).

The past season was one of the most successful in Simon's CSKA career. He took part in all 57 games, his playing time (14.7 minutes) was second only to his numbers of the “crisis” 2021-22 season (17.0), when the team was urgently rebuilt in the second part of the season. The basketball player also demonstrated high offensive efficiency last year – he scored 4.0 points with a shooting line of 57-44-84.

Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:

Semyon is the captain of the team, and he represents the team's winning DNA. His loyalty, dedication, selflessness and winning spirit are the qualities that inspire our team. I am happy to continue working with him.

Semen Antonov, CSKA captain:

It is a great honor for me to continue playing for CSKA. Our last championship is the result of the work of the entire team, where everyone knew his role and contributed to the victory. I am proud to lift the Belov Cup as a captain, I am proud of our club and the spirit that drives us forward. We are writing history, and I am sure that new victories are ahead of us! I am looking forward to continuing our journey to the top and meeting our fans. CSKA will always be the first!
