Good afternoon Ahmad4869,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand you are wanting to add football (soccer) to the workout categories on the Apple Watch. Although there is not a specific category for this activity, you can still get the complete benefit of fitness tracking on your watch by using the "Other" workout category. Your Apple Watch will track your heart rate, time elapsed, calories expended etc. At the conclusion of the workout, if you are not able to Name the workout "FootBall" or "Soccer," I'd suggest using "Mixed Cardio" from the list provided.
Work out with your Apple Watch
About workout types
Other
Choose Other when you can't find a matching workout type. When you use Other, you earn the calorie or kilojoule equivalent of a brisk walk anytime sensor readings are unavailable.
At the end of an Other workout, you'll get the option to name your workout. This can help categorize different types of activity, like yoga or dance.
Take care.
