US Valenciennes Olympic (or USVO, previously Union Sportive Valenciennes-Orchies) is a former French basketball team based in Valenciennes. It will be replaced by Union Hainaut Basket, because of the merging with Union Saint-Amand Porte du Hainaut (Saint-Amand-les-Eaux).

They sportive wheel, or, sailing down the stream,
Are snatched immediate by the quick-eyed trout
Or darting salmon.”
