On 2 March 2024, he scored a goal from a penalty kick in the last minutes of the match against [[Al-Salmiya SC|Al-Salmiya]] in a 1–0 win, equaling [[Firas Al-Khatib]]’s record as the highest scorer in the [[Kuwaiti Premier League]] historically, with 162.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.arabtimesonline.com/news/badr-al-mutawa-equals-a-goal-scoring-record-in-the-kuwait-league/ |title=Badr Al-Mutawa equals a goal-scoring record in the Kuwait League |website=Arab Times |language=en |date=3 March 2024 }}</ref> Five days later, he scored a goal in Qadsia 7–0 win over [[Al-Shabab SC (Kuwait)|Al-Shabab]] to become the all-time top scorer in the [[Kuwaiti Premier League]] history.
==International career== Al-Mutawa's first major competition on international level was the 2003 [[Arabian Gulf Cup]], hosted by Kuwait. The home side finished sixth with only five points from six matches (only Yemen, the newcomer to the Gulf Cup finished the tournament with fewer points, sparing Kuwait the embarrassment of ending up at the bottom of the table of the gulf cup for the first time in their history). Al-Mutawa scored once in Kuwait's only victory of the tournament, a 4–0 win against [[Yemen national football team|Yemen]].
Al-Mutawa played in the [[17th Arabian Gulf Cup]] in 2004, scoring a goal in the 87th minute against Saudi Arabia in Kuwait's opening match. Al-Mutawa excelled in this tournament, forming a strike partnership with captain and star striker [[Bashar Abdullah]]. They managed to score five goals between them. This partnership was short lived as Bashar retired from international football shortly after the tournament and Kuwait was eliminated in the semi-finals by [[Qatar national football team|Qatar]] after topping Group B with two victories and one draw with [[Bahrain national football team|Bahrain]].
At the [[18th Arabian Gulf Cup]] in 2007, Al-Mutawa scored goals against Yemen and in the final group match against the [[United Arab Emirates national football team|United Arab Emirates]], but Kuwait exited the tournament for the first time in their history without winning a single game.
On 3 September 2015, Al-Mutawa scored his second senior [[hat-trick]], in a 9–0 defeat of [[Myanmar national football team|Myanmar]] in a [[2018 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC second round|2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier]].<ref>{{cite web|title=WORLD CUP QUALIFYING – AFC 3/9/2015 12:00*|url=http://www.espnfc.com/gamecast/statistics/id/433445/statistics.html|publisher=[[ESPN FC]]|access-date=3 September 2015|date=3 September 2015|archive-date=2 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150902214209/http://www.espnfc.com/gamecast/statistics/id/433445/statistics.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
