Darouèche's debut at an international athletics competition was at the 2012 Summer Olympics, where he competed in the 400 metres hurdles.

Darouèche ran the slowest time of any athlete in the heat round, although Lankantien Lamboni, Akihiko Nakamura and Takayuki Kishimoto were disqualified. Darouèche was 3.36 seconds slower than the slowest athlete to progress to the semi-final round and, therefore, he was eliminated.

He was 3.41 seconds slower than the heat winner, Omar Cisneros of Cuba. Darouèche's time was the slowest by any athlete in the heat round of the competition. With only 24 athletes progressing to the semi-finals, 35th fastest Darouèche was eliminated. Darouèche competed at the 2013 Jeux de la Francophonie in September 2013 and was knocked out of the 400 metres hurdles in the heat round after his time of 53.75 seconds was not quick enough to qualify for the final.
