Steeve Olivier Elana (born 11 July 1980) is a French former professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for FC Martigues. Born in metropolitan France, he represented the Martinique national team.

Club career

[edit]

Elana previously played for Lille OSC in the French Ligue 1.[3] He became first choice goalkeeper for Lille after the departure of Mickaël Landreau. However, he was displaced in 2013–14 by the Nigerian international Vincent Enyeama.[citation needed]

International career

[edit]

Born in France, Elana is of Martiniquais and Guinean descent.[4] In March 2019, 38-year-old Elana was called up to the Guinea national team,[5] having previously played internationally for Martinique which is a non-FIFA member. He was unable to get a Guinean passport, as he was not able to confirm the Guinean village his grandparents came from.[6]
