Club Sportif de la Commune de Djasr Kasentina (Arabic: النادي الرياضي لبلدية جسر قسنطينة لكرة السله), referred to as CSCDK for a short, is a basketball club based in Djasr Kasentina, Algeria that played in the Algerian Basketball Championship the team founded in 1996.

History

The Club Sportif de la Commune de Djasr Kasentina (CSCDK) is one of Algeria’s rising sports clubs that has managed to leave a mark on the national scene despite limited resources. Founded in 1996, the club took on the mission of representing the municipality of Djasr Kasentina in competitive sports, with a special focus on basketball and youth football development. The club began its basketball journey in the lower divisions and achieved a historic promotion to the National 1 during the 2017–18 season.

This accomplishment reflected the hard work and determination of its staff, players, and administration, despite modest financial means. CSCDK is a powerful example of resilience and ambition. It proves that success is not solely based on resources, but also on collective effort and passion. With proper support and infrastructure, the club has the potential to rise even further and become one of Algeria’s most prominent sports institutions.[1] In 2023, CSCDK achieved another major milestone by winning the National Second Division (Central Group) after a dramatic 55–54 victory over WA Boufarik. This win qualified them for the promotion playoffs to return to the elite level.[2]

That same year, the club made history again by reaching the Algerian Basketball Cup Final for the first time after defeating reigning champions NB Staouéli 65–62 in the semifinals.[3] They later faced WO Boufarik in the final match. Despite its achievements, the club faces severe financial constraints and a shortage of sports facilities most notably, the closure of the only covered sports hall for more than three years, which has negatively affected player preparation and training conditions.
