Those are two big and beautiful dreams, Cate!
Ask yourself if your passion is a hobby or a real possibility for a future career. Ask yourself if you have a network that would support a future as a professional footballer if you do see that as the career choice for you.
Another idea would be to go to school to be a doctor or physio or physical therapist and go for a job working for your favorite team to combine the two ideas. Plenty of opportunity to help professional footballers AND be in the medical field!
Whatever you choose to do, whatever path you choose to take- play full out and put 110% effort in! =] Good luck!

Look into Sports Health as a field. Many universities specialize in this field. The university of New Mexico for instance, trains doctors to assist with the Olympics. This is a way you can be part of team and contributing in a meaningful way. Being a professional player is a very long shot and they have very short careers. Sports Health professionals are involved, essential and part of the team for much longer.
