International record

His clubs, in this archive

The archive covers 3 of the seasons Eljero Elia spent at SV Werder Bremen, 2012/13 to 2014/15. Their best finish in those years was 10th in 2014/15 and their worst 14th in 2012/13, averaging 39 points a season. The single covered season at Juventus FC is 2011/12, when they finished 1st of 20 on 84 points. Those placings are recalculated from the individual results rather than copied from a table, so they can be read against any other club on this site.

Only the seasons this archive holds are listed — it begins in 2000/01 and covers league matches in the five competitions named above, so a career that started earlier or ran through other leagues shows a gap here rather than a blank.

How this page is put together

The career table above is the structured record held on Wikidata under a public-domain licence, read once and cached, not queried while you are reading. The player is bound to that record by date of birth rather than by name: a name search returns the wrong Klose and three different Robinhos, and a page carrying somebody else’s links cannot afford that.

Compare any two clubs he played for with the head-to-head tool, or read the records these seasons feed into.

Spells are listed by the seasons in which the player appears in the provider’s squad records. Where two clubs overlap in the same year the player moved mid-season, and both are shown rather than one being chosen.
