The differential diagnosis of chronic groin pain in athletes is a long list and its evaluation is a challenging task. Sports hernia, one of the common cause of these groin pains, had been managed both with open & endoscopic repairs in the past. We report a case of sports hernia in young footballer who presented with bilateral groin pain for 5 years. Endoscopic hernioplasty was done (by totally extra-peritoneal technique) which identified bilateral occult femoral hernia and were repaired simultaneously. Post op outcome was good with excellent results.
