History

The CSKA Basketball team took over the AC-23, a team which finished in the second place in the national championship in 1942. In 1946, BC "Chavdar" was formed and finished third in the championship.

Basketball is one of the sports that developed in CSKA right from the creation of the Club on 5 May 1948. This "September in CDV" practically takes the whole male and female teams of AS-23, which proves clearly the relationship between CSKA and the first "army" Club in Bulgaria. The new team continued with the composition and the asset of CDV in the current Championship. In the autumn of the same year second place was won, and in 1949 it won the first CDV and the first in its history title in basketball. It was followed by two more titles over the next two seasons, while men generally earned 12 titles and 17 cups in the country. The founders of the Club were Konstantin Totev, Iliya Angelov, Tonko Raynov, Lubomir Katerinski, etc. Later, on the team played Konstantin Kotsev, who after his career became an artist in the National Theatre. At the time still a soldier, Daniel recited excerpts from plays in front of his teammates and he is remembered as one of the most colourful personalities in the "red" Club.

The strongest periods of men's basketball at CSKA were the 1950s and mid-' 60s and ' 70s, when they earned most titles, and in Europe basketball teams such as CSKA (Moscow), AEK (Athens), Olympiakos (Piraeus) and Huventud (Badalona) have been defeated in the european tournaments.

Thus the basketball CSKA won recognition beyond the borders of Bulgaria as well. Reaching of a semifinal in the Cup Winners ' Cup in 1975 and the quarterfinals of the European Cup in 1966 and 1968 are achieved.

In total, for the period 1948-1974 basketball bands broadcast 26 masters of sports and many of them are national team players.

Among the most famous basketball players of CSKA are Dimitar Donev, Kliment Kamenarov, Konstantin Totev, Iliya Angelov, Tonko Raynov, Georgi Maleev, Tsvyatko Barchovski, Temelaki Dimitrov, Atanas Golomeev, Petko Marinov, Milko Arabadzhiiski, Rumen Peychev and others. In CSKA famous coaches like Lubomir Katerinski, Ilia Totev, Kosyo Totev, Tsvyatko Barchovski, Omurtag Kuzmanov and Petko Marinov have worked.

In the mid-80s, on the European scene the "army men" were still performing very well, but the real criteria for success, as they were before, is playing against the big teams in front of full halls of people, which in those times CSKA definitely plays in.

After the changes made on the 10th of November, 1989, the "army" basketball gradually fell into crisis and was on the way of vanishing. The military stopped taking part in developing the sport, which hits the club quite harshly. After 1992 the club cannot manage to win gold in the championship and only wins the "Cup of Bulgaria" in 2005.

During the 2006/2007 season Emil Koen and Vladimir Fedyaev take control over CSKA. They have the ambition to get the legendary team to get up on his feet. The women's team is also recovered, as the "Red angels" make the best season in their history.

In Bulgaria the "Red Angels" won a golden double, and the biggest achievement is the winning of the prestige "Adriatic league", which is one of the most competitive tournaments in Europe. The good times don't last long because of the death of Emil Koen in 2007.

After 2007 comes the time for two very intense years in which various owners change places and in the end the basketball team ends its competitive actions.

Only in 2012 a group of enthusiasts led by Alexander Chamakov and Robert Gergov begin gradual attempts to reincarnate the red team. Because of the lack of enough financial power, they start working solely on the youth academy, but the ambition is starting from season 2016-2017 there to be a men's representative team. After several seasons in the second level in 2022 CSKA won the second division (victory against Shumen II in the final) and from the 2022-23 season returned to the NBL. The coach of the team will be the red legend Rosen Barchovski. Also from the new season CSKA will have a double team in BBL "A" Group with coach Hristo Tsenov.

Basketball team took over the AC 23 a team which finished in the second place in the national championship in 1942 In 1946 BC Chavdar was formed and finished third in the championship Basketball is one of the sports that developed in CSKA right from the creation of the Club on 5 May 1948 This September in CDV practically takes the whole male and female teams of AS 23 which proves clearly the relationship between CSKA and the first army Club in Bulgaria The new team continued with the composition and the asset of CDV in the current Championship In the autumn of the same year second place was won and in 1949 it won the first CDV and the first in its history title in basketball It was followed by two more titles over the next two seasons while men generally earned 12 titles and 17 cups in the country The founders of the Club were Konstantin Totev Iliya Angelov Tonko Raynov Lubomir Katerinski etc Later on the team played Konstantin Kotsev who after his career became an artist in the National Theatre At the time still a soldier Daniel recited excerpts from plays in front of his teammates and he is remembered as one of the most colourful personalities in the red Club The strongest periods of men s basketball at CSKA were the 1950s and mid 60s and 70s when they earned most titles and in Europe basketball teams such as CSKA Moscow AEK Athens Olympiakos Piraeus and Huventud Badalona have been defeated in the european tournaments Thus the basketball CSKA won recognition beyond the borders of Bulgaria as well Reaching of a semifinal in the Cup Winners Cup in 1975 and the quarterfinals of the European Cup in 1966 and 1968 are achieved In total for the period 1948 1974 basketball bands broadcast 26 masters of sports and many of them are national team players Among the most famous basketball players of CSKA are Dimitar Donev Kliment Kamenarov Konstantin Totev Iliya Angelov Tonko Raynov Georgi Maleev Tsvyatko Barchovski Temelaki Dimitrov Atanas Golomeev Petko Marinov Milko Arabadzhiiski Rumen Peychev and others In CSKA famous coaches like Lubomir Katerinski Ilia Totev Kosyo Totev Tsvyatko Barchovski Omurtag Kuzmanov and Petko Marinov have worked In the mid 80s on the European scene the army men were still performing very well but the real criteria for success as they were before is playing against the big teams in front of full halls of people which in those times CSKA definitely plays in After the changes made on the 10th of November 1989 the army basketball gradually fell into crisis and was on the way of vanishing The military stopped taking part in developing the sport which hits the club quite harshly After 1992 the club cannot manage to win gold in the championship and only wins the Cup of Bulgaria in 2005 During the 2006 2007 season Emil Koen and Vladimir Fedyaev take control over CSKA They have the ambition to get the legendary team to get up on his feet The women s team is also recovered as the Red angels make the best season in their history In Bulgaria the Red Angels won a golden double and the biggest achievement is the winning of the prestige Adriatic league which is one of the most competitive tournaments in Europe The good times don t last long because of the death of Emil Koen in 2007 After 2007 comes the time for two very intense years in which various owners change places and in the end the basketball team ends its competitive actions Only in 2012 a group of enthusiasts led by Alexander Chamakov and Robert Gergov begin gradual attempts to reincarnate the red team Because of the lack of enough financial power they start working solely on the youth academy but the ambition is starting from season 2016 2017 there to be a men s representative team After several seasons in the second level in 2022 CSKA won the second division victory against Shumen II in the final and from the 2022 23 season returned to the NBL The coach of the team will be the red legend Rosen Barchovski Also from the new season CSKA will have a double team in BBL A Group with coach Hristo Tsenov Honours Edit National Basketball League 12 1949 1950 1951 1965 1967 1977 1980 1983 1984 1990 1991 1992 Bulgarian Cup 17 record 1953 1955 1962
