Apart from Toruń, there are fan-clubs in Gniewkowo, Golub-Dobrzyń, Ostaszewo, Aleksandrów Kujawski, Ciechocinek, Kowalewo Pomorskie, Obrowo, Lubicz and Wąbrzeźno.[6]

They have a long-standing friendship with fans of Ruch Chorzów and KS Myszków (who are also Ruch fans), friendly relations with Widzew Łódź fans from Grudziądz,[7] and more recently Wisła Kraków and KKS Kalisz fans.

As the city of Toruń has a rivalry with Bydgoszcz that extends even beyond sport,[8] Elana competes the Cuiavian derby[9] with Zawisza and Polonia. They also compete with fans of speedway club Apator Toruń.
