International career
Born in France, Elana is of Martiniquais descent through his father, and Guinean descent through his mother. In March 2019, 38 year old Elana was called up to the Guinea national football team,[1] having previously played internationally for Martinique who is a non-FIFA member. He was unable to get a Guinean passport, as he wasn't able to confirm the Guinean village his grandparents came from.[2]
