Imagine how boring it would be if football was played by robots. The drama, emotion, and art of football can't be replaced by robots. There's absolutely no chance.
If a robot did this job then it would no longer be the same job, just a comparison of robots to see whose hardware is better whereas in human sports it takes years and even decades of dedication to become good enough to stand at the top and is symbolistic of a journey that no robot could ever replicate.
No one wants to watch a robot play football
However, as you've said, AI in a human-like body would still look fake because of the uncanny valley. There are already separate competitions for robot athletes, and these were held years ago.
