He moved to Greece in 1998, but played only one Superleague match for PAOK F.C. before returning to Uzbekistan.[2]

He made 32 appearances and scored 5 goals for the senior national team between 1992 and 2001.[3]

Following his playing career, Marifaliev became a football manager, leading Metallurg Bekabad during the 2008 Uzbek League season.[4]
