Association Sportive des Douanes, commonly known as AS Douanes, is a Senegalese basketball club from Dakar. Part of the Senegalese customs organisation, the team plays in the national top division Nationale 1 and is among the country's most decorated teams, having won 10 national titles. AS Douanes played and will play in the Basketball Africa League (BAL) in the 2021 and 2023 seasons.

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]
