Despite all the difficulties through the past decades, Karpoš Sokoli are, thanks to the enthusiasm and persistence of its founder Ognen Dedić, one of only few clubs that have managed to maintain continuity in senior competitions, while not neglecting the successful work with youth categories, which was club's trademark from its beginnings.

The most successful season in club's history so far is the 2015–16 season, when the club reached the finals of Macedonian National Cup and Semi-finals of the Macedonian National Championship, after finishing as runners-up in the regular part of the season.
For the first time in their history, Karpoš Sokoli managed to achieve the promotion to the ABA League for the 2016–17 season, which is considered to be the largest success of the club so far.
