Bader Ahmed al-Mutawa (Arabic: بدر أحمد المطوع; born 10 January 1985) is a Kuwaiti professional footballer who plays for Qadsia and the Kuwait national team, where he usually operates as a second striker. He wears the jersey number 17 for both club and country.[1]

Club career

Al-Mutawa was born in Kuwait City. His performance for both club and national teams lead to his being nominated for 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 as their new owners, the Al-Hasawi family, arranged a one-month trial for the striker.[3] He impressed manager 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 in all competitions, Including friendly matches, in a 3–1 win over Kuwait SC. [5][6]

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 less 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-Mutwa scored once in Kuwait's only victory of the tournament, a 4–0 win against 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 after topping Group B with two victories and one draw with 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, 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 in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier.[7]

FIFA recognizes him as the men's all-time record appearance holder with 196 caps,[8] after having surpassed Soh Chin Ann's record of 195 recognized by FIFA matches on 14 June 2022.[9][10][11] He is also the most capped active international male footballer.

Personal life

Al-Mutawa holds the military rank of Colonel and he is also director of the Security Affairs Department of the Kuwaiti National Assembly Guard, as sports professionalism is not fully applied in Kuwait.[12]

Notes
  1. ^ RSSSF doesn't include the goal against UAE.[8][13]
  2. ^ Neither RSSSF nor FIFA recognize the match, and so also the goal, against S. Arabia U-23 on 17 December 2011.[8][13]
  3. ^ RSSSF wrongly attributes a goal on Al-Mutawa in the match against Iraq on 10 September 2018.[8][13]
  4. ^ RSSSF doesn't include the goal in the match against Latvia on 25 March 2022.[8][13]
