Why i have pain at the side of my leg when i play football or run?

It depends: Various things could cause this, from things like simple muscle sprain, exertional compartment syndrome, to stress injuries to bone and/or muscle, or more serious issues. You need to be evaluated to figure out the cause and rule out any serious pathology.
