Steeve Elana (born 11 July 1980) is a professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for FC Martigues and the Martinique national football team.
He previously played for Lille OSC in the French Ligue 1. 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.
International career
Born in France, Elana is of Martiniquais and Guinean descent.[1] In March 2019, 38-year-old Elana was called up to the Guinea national football team,[2] 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.[3]
