if you feel the pain especially when bending or walking exercising ,does your knee make pop sound or swelling too then this is called patellofemoral pain syndrome or sometimes called runner's knee which can result from:

-Overuse. Repeated bending of the knee like in playing football can irritate the nerves of the kneecap. Overstretched tendons (tendons are the tissues that connect muscles to bones) may also cause the pain of the knee.

-Direct trauma to the knee, like a fall or blow.

-Misalignment. If any of the bones are slightly out of their correct position misaligned
physical stress won't be evenly distributed through your body. Certain parts of your body may bear too much weight. This can cause pain and damage to the joints. Sometimes, the kneecap itself is slightly out of position.

-Problems with the feet. Runner's knee can result from flat feet,This is a condition in which the impact of a step causes the arches of your foot to collapse, stretching the muscles and tendons.

-Weak thigh muscles.

if your pain is severe check with doctor for physical exam ,and to order images for the knee to be sure of the underlying cause .
for a mild pain you can try the following
-rest your knee and try to avoid heavy things
-ice compresses might be effective
-compress your knee with a bandage
-elevate your knee when sitting
-you can take anti inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen or ketoprofen or diclofenac to reduce inflammation and pain .
So it is important to stop now playing football until healing is revealed ,you must take care of your knees.
