Object of the participle: football

Explanation:

Participle defines the word that both acts as a verb and an adjective. It is a non-finite verb that is employed as a modifier that modifies a noun, noun phrase, verb or verb phrase. There are two kinds of participles: present participle and past participle. Thus, the word that compliments the above description is "playing" that acts as participle here with its object "football". However, it doesn't use any modifier.
