History
[edit]20th century
[edit]Founded in 1946, the club played in local leagues and the Vierde Klasse until 1966. It then had only run in the Derde Klasse that lasted until 1974 and ended with SV Marken's first section championship. The season after, ending in 1975, it achieved its second championship in the Tweede Klasse and made it for 2 years into the Eerste Klasse until relegation. The second run in the Tweede lasted considerably longer and ended with a 3rd championship in 1984.
In the 1985–86 KNVB Cup SV Marken created a sensation when it reached the quarterfinals, losing just 0–1 against the professional side FC Den Haag.[2] No club but IJsselmeervogels had made it to it so far in National Cup before SV Marken.[2] The home game for Marken was played in neighboring Volendam so sufficient football supporters could attend the game.[2]
From 1984 to 2006 SV Marken spent most seasons in the Eerste Klasse with 3 year and 4 year runs in the Hoofdklasse in the late 1990s and early 2000s. During these years it achieved its best league result ever, 4th place in Hoofdklasse, in 1997 and secured an Eerste Klasse championship in 2001.
21st century
[edit]Since 2006 the Marken play mostly Tweede Klasse with an interlude in the Eerste Klasse from 2010 to 2014. In 2017 Marken promoted through playoffs from a 7th position in the Tweede Klasse into the Eerste Klasse. Next season, it returned to the Tweede Klasse.

Afgelopen dinsdagavond ontmoette zaterdagamateurclub Marken FC Den Haag in de kwartfinale om de KNVB-beker. Op IJsselmeervogels na is nog nooit een amateurclub zover doorgedrongen in het toernooi om de KNVB-beker. [...] Door een fout van Marken-doelman John Koks ging FC Den Haag uiteindelijk met een magere 0–1 winst strijken.
