'der Fußball' and 'der Frauenfußball' both refer to the sport of football/soccer. The difference is who is playing. 'Fußball' is the general term and can mean men's football, women's football, or football in general. 'Frauenfußball' is used more specifically when talking about football played by women's teams. The words can be confused because 'Frauenfußball' is also a form of football. If the gender of the teams is not important, 'Fußball' is usually enough. If you are deliberately talking about women's teams, 'Frauenfußball' is more precise.
