Men's World Cup

It can be safely implied from context when one is orders of magnitude bigger than the other.

The one with the most audience, I guess. By far.

Is there any other world cup going on right now?

There's no such thing as a men's World Cup, women are allowed to play too. You'll have a very hard time finding any women playing at this level though.

  That's wild, I didn't know this. Though worth noting there is also a dedicated Womens' World Cup next year.

    I think almost all sports that have separate women's competitions allow everyone to participate in "men's" competitions.

  What about a golden retriever?

  Nope. Per Wikipedia: > The FIFA World Cup, often simply called the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body.

    And from the relevant FIFA regulations: “For FIFA men’s competitions, only men are eligible to play. For FIFA women’s competitions, only men are eligible to play.” https://digitalhub.fifa.com/m/3950e57162ea513d/original/ihf3yx6kw3insqt6r0i6-pdf.pdf https://digitalhub.fifa.com/m/3950e57162ea513d/original/ihf3...

      And indeed there are no unisex competitions. >FIFA competitions are separated for men and women. This separation must be safeguarded and protected. I messed up here by trusting the first results on google while searching "can women play in the world cup" which brought up a bunch of Quora results saying that they can. I was a bit too eager to believe them because this is a thing in many other sports.

Here in the U.S. this is also the main women's event. (The women's team will receive more money from the men's team as charity this year than they will earn in the next women's world cup, even if they win it.)
