Lokomotief Rijswijk, better known as simply Lokomotief, is a Dutch amateur basketball club based in Rijswijk. Established on 1 April 1971, both the first men's and women's teams currently play in the Promotiedivisie, the second-tier league in Dutch basketball.[1] The club has won one major trophy in its history, when it won the NBB Cup in the 1986–87 season. Between 2018 and 2023, Lokomotief won four consecutive Promotiedivisie titles, becoming the first club to do so. The team has since then played well in the NBB Cup competition, even eliminating first level club Den Helder Suns in the 2020–21 season.[2]
