That season Marek led the league for several rounds and at the end the team fought tooth and nail with Slavia Sofia for the third place in the table. Marek won the decisive game against Slavia Sofia in Dupnitsa by the score 1:0, and finished in 3rd place, winning the bronze medals.

The team is known for its loyal supporters and the local stadium "Bonchuk Stadium
" is infamous for being a difficult place for visiting teams. "Bonchuk Stadium
" holds 16.050 people. The town of Dupnitsa was known as the "city on wheels", because thousands of loyal Marek fans would follow the team at away games to remote parts of Bulgaria
.
Famous players:
Among the most famous players of Marek are Kiril Milanov, Dimitar Isakov, Nikolay Krastev (Shultz), Sasho Pargov, Ivan and Ventzi Petrov, Stoyan Stoyanov (a goalkeeper), Asen Tomov, and Dimitre Dimitrov-Miki. The coach
associated with the successes of Marek is Yanko Dinkov.
After over a decade of playing in the lower divisions, in 2001 Marek returned triumphantly to the Bulgarian A PFG.
As a participant in the Intertoto Cup, Marek tied 1:1 the German Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg
in 2003, but lost away from home the second leg, 0:2, and was eliminated from the tournament. The team finished 7th at the conclusion of the 2003–04 season, 9th at the end of the 2004–05 season, 11th after the 2005–06 season, and 12th at the end of the 2006–07 football season of the Bulgarian premier division, Bulgarian A PFG (out of 16 teams). In 2006/2007, Marek secured its place in the Bulgarian top division for the next season with a 1:0 home win over the powerhouse CSKA Sofia.
During the 2007-08 season, Marek was plagued by injuries of key players, several coaching changes and a not-so-well covered conflict between the senior players of the club: Angelo and Yanek Kyuchukov
and the club president, Yordan Andreev. Further, the team sold their best and most talented player, Enyo Krastovchev
, to Levski Sofia.
As a result, the team finished in last place, 16th, with only 5 wins in 30 games, in the Bulgarian A PFG, and was relegated to B PFG for the 2008/2009 season.
Before the start of the 2008/2009 season in B PFG, the team held its pre-season training in France in an attempt by the club President Andreev to compile a team made up exclusively of young foreign players. The team even had a Portuguese coach for the first few games of the season. The regular season started disastrously for Marek. After several consecutive losses, the Portuguese coach was fired, and all but one of the foreign players left the club.
Marek barely survived the 2008/2009 season in B PFG, finishing 14th out of 16 teams, winning only 7 out of 30 regular season games, scoring 29 and conceding 48 goals.
During the 2009/2010 season in B PFG, the team was coached by Velin Kostadinov and player-manager Angelo Kyuchukov. The team found more consistency and finished comfortably in 10th place with 41 points.
, a former player for the team.
During the 2010/2011 season, Marek dominated the local amateur division and after winning all but one of its regular season games, it earned a playoff game against PFC Belasitsa Petrich
for the right to play in the third division, Bulgarian V AFG
. The playoff game was tied after 90 minutes, 1:1, and Belasitsa went on to win on penalties.
Despite the lost playoff and the prospect of spending a second season in the regional amateur league, a number of third division teams declined participation prior to the upcoming 2011/2012 season due to financial insolvency. Thus, Marek was administratively promoted to the third division, Bulgarian V AFG
for the 2011/2012 season.
