Career
After playing for SC Buitenveldert and HFC EDO, Douiri entered the youth academy of ADO Den Haag in 2017. After one year he joined the Van Riemsdijk Sports Academy, hosted by fourth-tier Zuidoost United. With the academy he attended a tournament in Odense, Denmark, following which he signed with Swedish Second Division side IFK Eskilstuna in February 2020. Due to the coronavirus pandemic the Swedish league soon came to a halt. 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. 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.
In 2021, he signed a contract with FC Volendam until mid-2022.. In the first half of the season Douiri played as a winger, but was gradually retrained by trainer Wim Jonk to a right back. In mid-2022, his contract was extended until 2024.
