Félix Dja Ettien

Club career Ettien was born in Abidjan. While representing Ivory Coast in the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship, he caught the eyes of Spanish club Levante UD, who purchased both him and his compatriot Idrissa Keita. While Keita flopped, Ettien became one of the team's most important players – despite suffering racist abuse early on in his career in the country; in his first season, however, he only appeared in seven games (308 minutes) as they were relegated from the Segunda División.

In September 2009, after more than one year out of football, the 30-year-old Ettien had an unsuccessful trial at Romania's FC Astra Ploiești. In January 2011, he signed with Spanish Segunda División B side UD Alzira.

International career After the under-20 exploits, Ettien won six caps (one goal) for the Ivorian national team, appearing against DR Congo and Madagascar in the 2002 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign.

Personal life On 19 October 2018, after several failed business enterprises, Ettien was employed as bus driver at the Royal Spanish Football Federation, presided by his former Levante teammate Luis Rubiales. Segunda División
