History

AS Douanes was established in 1980,[3] as the basketball section of the Senegalese customs organisation.[4] In 1998, the team won its first national championship.

In October 2019, Douane won the Senegalese championship after defeating DUC in the final.[5] By winning, Douanes qualified directly for the inaugural season of the Basketball Africa League (BAL) as an automatic spot was granted to the Senegalese champions.[6][7]

After losing the 2021 title to DUC, Douanes won their 10th national title on 16 October 2022, after beating their arch-rivals 2–0 in the finals series.[8]
