I have not been playing football for some time now.

However, today I played football in the afternoon.

 

Don't you think that you ought to put your ideas in a more acceptable text.  Otherwise we cannot understand, why you say that you had not been playing football.  You must mention the time / duration / date / something like that to reflect the time taken.
