**Bader Ahmed al-Mutawa** ([Arabic](/source/Arabic_language): بدر أحمد المطوع; born 10 January 1985) is a Kuwaiti professional [footballer](/source/Association_football) who plays for [Qadsia](/source/Qadsia_SC). He usually operates as a [second striker](/source/Second_striker). He wears the [jersey number 17](/source/Squad_number_(association_football)).[1] Al-Mutawa is the [second-most-capped international player](/source/List_of_men's_footballers_with_100_or_more_international_caps) with 202 caps, only behind [Cristiano Ronaldo](/source/Cristiano_Ronaldo).

## Club career

Al-Mutawa was born in Kuwait City. His performance for both club and national teams led to him being nominated for the best Asian player in 2006 and 2010, though Al-Mutawa did not win the prize.[2]

He was awarded the Kuwaiti league's top scorer for local players in the 2008–09 season with 10 goals.

On 23 July 2012, he began training with [Nottingham Forest](/source/Nottingham_Forest_F.C.) as their new owners, the Al-Hasawi family, arranged a one-month trial for the striker.[3] He impressed manager [Sean O'Driscoll](/source/Sean_O'Driscoll) enough that the club were looking to sign him on a permanent basis but he was denied a work permit and the club wasn't able to sign him.[4]

On 11 May 2021, he scored his 300th goal for [Qadsia](/source/Qadsia_SC) in all competitions, including friendly matches, in a 3–1 win over [Kuwait SC](/source/Kuwait_SC).[5][6]

On 2 March 2024, he scored a goal from a penalty kick in the last minutes of the match against [Al-Salmiya](/source/Al-Salmiya_SC) in a 1–0 win, equaling [Firas Al-Khatib](/source/Firas_Al-Khatib)’s record as the highest scorer in the [Kuwaiti Premier League](/source/Kuwaiti_Premier_League) historically, with 162.[7] Five days later, he scored a goal in Qadsia 7–0 win over [Al-Shabab](/source/Al-Shabab_SC_(Kuwait)) to become the all-time top scorer in the [Kuwaiti Premier League](/source/Kuwaiti_Premier_League) history.

## International career

Al-Mutawa's first major competition on international level was the 2003 [Arabian Gulf Cup](/source/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](/source/Yemen_national_football_team).

Al-Mutawa played in the [17th Arabian Gulf Cup](/source/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](/source/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](/source/Qatar_national_football_team) after topping Group B with two victories and one draw with [Bahrain](/source/Bahrain_national_football_team).

At the [18th Arabian Gulf Cup](/source/18th_Arabian_Gulf_Cup) in 2007, Al-Mutawa scored goals against Yemen and in the final group match against the [United Arab Emirates](/source/United_Arab_Emirates_national_football_team), 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](/source/Hat-trick), in a 9–0 defeat of [Myanmar](/source/Myanmar_national_football_team) in a [2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier](/source/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_AFC_second_round).[8]

Al-Mutawa was the men's [all-time record appearance holder](/source/List_of_men's_footballers_with_100_or_more_international_caps) with 196 caps,[9] after having surpassed [Soh Chin Ann](/source/Soh_Chin_Ann)'s record of 195 recognized by FIFA matches on 14 June 2022.[10][11][12] His record was equalled by [Portugal](/source/Portugal_national_football_team)'s [Cristiano Ronaldo](/source/Cristiano_Ronaldo) during the [2022 FIFA World Cup](/source/2022_FIFA_World_Cup) and later beaten by Ronaldo in the [UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers](/source/UEFA_Euro_2024_qualifying).[13][14] His total number of international matches was later readjusted to 202, making him the first player to reach the 200-match milestone.[15]

## Personal life

Al-Mutawa holds the military rank of [colonel](/source/Colonel) and he is also director of the Security Affairs Department of the [Kuwaiti National Assembly](/source/National_Assembly_(Kuwait)) Guard, as sports professionalism is not fully applied in Kuwait.[16]
