Ruslan Elá Ayana (born 7 November 1983) is a former footballer who played as a left-back or a centre-back. Born in Spain, he played for the Equatorial Guinea national team.
Elá was born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain. In his nine-year senior career he never played in higher than the Spanish fourth division, representing CF Sporting Mahonés, CD Villanueva, CD Lumbreras, CD Logroñés (two spells), CF Villanovense, CD Benicarló, CD Blanes, CF Gavà, CD Masnou and FC Levante Las Planas, retiring at only 27.
