Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have sustained injury to your testicle while playing football and your testicle is swollen .
Please consult qualified General surgeon for clinical examination and get Ultrasound scanning of the scrotum done to rule out formation of haematoma and injury to testis.
There is no risk of developing cancer of the testis in future due to this trauma.
