The people of Dupnitsa saw football being played for the first time by foreign troops staying in the city during World War I. Over the next several years, 4 football clubs were created in Dupnitsa – Slavia, Levski, ZHSK and Athletic. In 1923, the teams of Dupnitsa participated in the formation of Southwest Football League and between 1935 and 1944 the clubs from Dupnitsa often participated in the finals of the national tournaments. By 1944 each of the four teams already had its own stadium.
