Futbawl/Panva se khelane ka genda
Firstly, both Bengali and Hindi have their own individual scripts so what i assume you're actually looking for is the sounds of the term in both languages transliterated into English. The first reference below does have an example of the word 'football' in Bengali script and also shows pronunciation, click on the link provided. The term 'football' is transliterated as 'futbawl' in Bengali, no separate term was provided for 'soccer'. For Hindi the second link provides 'Panva se khelane ka genda' for 'football' and, here again, no separate term was provided for 'soccer'. Except for the U.S. version of football most other people consider 'soccer' and 'football' to be synonymous anyhow, maybe some other members will provide additional helpful information. HTH.

Paadkanduk OR Football
You may like to use Football itself for Hindi as it is a quite common term for football and it is understood by one and all. Otherwise, Paadkanduk has been coined for football in Hindi. Paad means foot and kanduk means ball. Hence, Football may be translated as Paadkanduk in Hindi.
Hope it helps.

Just in case you want the above words in Hindi characters:
Paadkanduk = पादकंदुक
Football = फुटबाल
Hope it helps.
