Well ... you can do it, but you have to evaluate your reasons for it.
I weigh 165lbs at 5'8 at a fairly low body fat and my best lifts are a 550lb deadlift(belt), 440lb squat(belt), 286lb bench press and a 175lb strict press(working on that..). 100 meter time is 10s97h. Not world class, but I am proud of my lifts.
This took me about eleven years, with its ups and downs ...
I can write a hundred-page essay on the challenges getting stronger at a lower or stable weight poses, but really, evaluate your reasons. If it is vanity, well, get your body fat percentage handled first, but understand that you can lose fat if you simply get your diet in order and train hard. You will take longer to gain strength, but it is doable, provided you are disciplined enough.
In the past I have "bulked up" several times only to "lean down" afterwards and always ended up with a positive gain in muscle and strength, even though my bodyweight has not changed a lot over the last few years.
Simply staying light because you play soccer is not a good reason. Many successful soccer players are much heavier than 167lbs. If you feel you are fat or want to see your abs, get that in order and then gain the strength and the muscle. You do sound like a beginner, no offence, so just train and go to soccer practice and everything will be all right. Body fat will stay low, muscle mass and strength will increase. (with that awesome skill called patience)
Insecurities about your body often obscure what you actually want to accomplish, so be aware of that.
