Career
editAfter playing for SC Buitenveldert and HFC EDO, Douiri entered the youth academy of ADO Den Haag in 2017.[3][4] After one year he joined the Van Riemsdijk Sports Academy, hosted by fourth-tier Zuidoost United.[3][4] With the academy he attended a tournament in Odense, Denmark, following which he signed with Swedish Second Division side IFK Eskilstuna in February 2020.[4][3] Due to the coronavirus pandemic the Swedish league soon came to a halt.[4] In the summer Douiri returned to the Netherlands and signed for IJsselmeervogels, where he soon made the move from the under-23 team to the first team squad.[5] He made two appearances for the club, as amateur football in the Netherlands was soon shut down by the KNVB, because of the coronavirus crisis.[6]
In 2021, Douiri signed a contract with FC Volendam until mid-2022.[6] Initially playing as a winger, he was gradually converted into a right-back under head coach Wim Jonk.[1] In mid-2022, he extended his contract until 2024.[1] Douiri left Volendam upon the expiration of his contract in June 2024.[7]
On 7 February 2025, after several months as a free agent, Douiri signed an amateur contract with Telstar of the Eerste Divisie.[8] A backup during his brief spell, he made three appearances as Telstar won promotion to the Eredivisie for the first time in 47 years.[9]
On 20 August 2025, Douiri joined Al-Najma in the Bahraini Premier League.[10]
