Excelsior Brussels, for sponsorship reasons called Basic-Fit Brussels, is a professional basketball club based in Brussels, Belgium. The team has played in the Scooore League since 2013.
History
The club was founded in 1957. In 1999 Excelsior merged with AERA Castor and renamed itself AERA Excelsior Brussel VZW. After 7 years in the 3e Nationale, the Belgian third division, Excelsior promoted to the 2e Nationale in 2009. In the first two years, Excelsior finished 4th and 5th and was defeated in the quarterfinals. In the 2011–12 season Excelsior reached the semifinals and in the 2012–13 season, it finished 10th while missing the Playoffs.
The club moved to the professional Scooore League, the first tier in Belgium, for the 2013–14 season. Excelsior received a C-licence, which allowed them to play with a lower budget in the league.[1] The club also got a new main sponsor in Basic-Fit, and was renamed Basic-Fit Brussels.
