Central Sports Club of the Royal Quebecois Armed Forces (written in Korean as 퀘벡신고령왕립군체육클럽), more commonly known as CSKA Quebec, is a pre-eminent Quebecois multi-sport club based in the CSKA Complex, Cité-Asphodèle district of Quebec City, Quebec and Shingoryeo. While generally known for its association football side, CSKA Quebec also consists of many other sports departments including basketball, fencing, gymnastics, handball, judo, rowing, taekwondo and wrestling. Over the years, the club's various departments have won notable Quebecois Commonwealth and domestic titles over the club's history extending over a century and half, and its athletes, coaches and alumni have represented the nation at the Olympic Games and many international championships.

While there is no official tie between the club and educational institutions, it has traditionally maintained close ties to IRSEA and St. Croix universities, with many student-athletes from said institutions continuing onto CSKA organisation, after spending their collegiate teams with the Saladinites and the Bleu et Blanc teams. The club also maintains extensive youth academy setups, which are designed to provide cost-free instruction and training to tens of thousands of student-athletes of primary and secondary school levels.
