Diambars came up to the national divisions, then to National 1, Diambars promoted itself to Ligue 2 and in 2011 promoted to Ligue 1 for the first time where they remain into the present day. Their first season was placed in Group A and finished first with 26 points and 8 wins, the goal totals of 18 was shared with Ouakam, the highest. In the final phase, Diambars was placed second behind Casa Sports. In their second season in Ligue 1, they achieved their only championship title for 2013, Diambars finished with 52 points (club record) and had 14 wins and scored the most goals numbering 42. In 2014, they were 9th, Djambars was 4th in the 2015-16 season with 38 points and third in goal scoring numbering 30. Diambars won their only League Cup title for 2016. Diambars made their 6th Ligue 1 appearance in October 2016, Diambars had a rough start for the 2016-17 season starting 13th in the first round, but slowly headed to the top positions, 4th in the 4th round, then 2nd at the 10th round and held it for two weeks, their positions later dropped to 6th at the 17th round and regained it and finished at a slightly better position of 3rd place, behind the newcomer Génération Foot and well known Guédiawaye but a position ahead of the nation's greatest club Diaraf (or Jaraaf). Diambars had 40 points which was a point more than Djaraf and 10 wins and draws.
