Bonchuk Stadium, Football stadium in Dupnitsa, Bulgaria.
Bonchuk Stadium is a football stadium in Dupnitsa with a grass playing field surrounded by seating rows that hold up to 16,050 spectators. The facility offers locker rooms, parking areas, concession stands for drinks and snacks, and spaces for activities before and after matches.
The stadium opened in 1952 and became the home ground for PFC Marek Dupnitsa, marking the start of professional football in the region. Since then it has played an important role in local sports life and hosted many football matches.
This venue serves as a gathering place for football fans from the local area who come together to support their regional team. People from different parts of the city use this space to spend time with others while watching matches.
Bonchuk Stadium sits at the southern edge of Dupnitsa, at 42.2756 N, 23.1356 E, and is reached on foot from the town centre. In April 2021 the municipality granted PFC Marek free use of the ground for ten years, so match-day access follows the club's arrangements. Seats were added in 2014 after Marek returned to the First League.
The stadium is named after Bonchuk, the nom de guerre of Nikola Chukovski, deputy commander of the Dupnitsa partisan detachment, who was killed near the village of Yarebkovitsa by Sapareva Banya. The ground opened in 1952 and holds 16,050 seats.
