Elyas Bouzaiene (born 8 September 1997) is a Swedish footballer who plays as a right back for Degerfors IF in Superettan.

Bouzaiene played youth football for Kristianstads FF but was not interested in training hard at the time. He narrowly decided against relinquishing his football career, opting to start his senior career with Viby in Division 6, the eighth tier. He moved to Bromölla and chose to play for Ifö Bromölla IF, where he played for several seasons before returning to Kristianstad. He contested the 2021 Division 2 with the team, claiming to have begun training "copious amounts" at the age of 22. Another club from the south of Sweden, Lunds BK showed their interest and signed Bouzaiene in 2022. When he was then signed by Degerfors IF in the summer of 2022, Bouzaiene had made the jump from the fourth to the first tier in only a few months. [2] Bouzaiene made his Allsvenskan debut on 23 July 2022 against Mjällby, [3] [4] where he recorded one assist. [2] His contract lasted through 2024. [5]

Bouzaiene is the son of a Finnish mother and Tunisian father and was considered for Tunisia's national team in 2023. He ended up not being called up for the time being. [6] [7] [8]
