Non-FIBA competitions

In 2006, Donar (then known as Hanzevast Capitals) played in the Haarlem Basketball Week, an International tournament in Amsterdam hosted during the winter break.[1] Six years later, in 2012, the team hosted the Groninger Basketball Week at the MartiniPlaza.

For the 2024–25 season, Donar joined the European North Basketball League (ENBL), a FIBA-affiliated but separately organised competition for basketball teams across the continent.[2] [3]
