Elvis Sina (born 14 November 1978 in Tirana) is a former Albanian footballer. He has successfully played for Tirana in the Albanian Superliga, and for the Albanian national team. His main position was centre back but he could also play as a sweeper.
Sina is the most-capped player in the history of Tirana with more than 500 appearances in all competitions.
Sina began his professional career with Tirana in 1996 and by the age of just 19 he became a key first team player, helping his side win the Albanian Superliga 6 times, Albanian Cup 4 times and Albanian Supercup 5 times before his departure in 2006 to head to Elbasani. He only spent one season in Elbasan before heading back to KF Tirana for the 2007–08 season.
On 9 June 2008, Sina moved to Tirana's fierce local rivals Dinamo Tirana in the summer of 2008 where he won the Albanian Supercup in his only season at the club before once again returning to Tirana for his third stint in 2009. He returned to Tirana in the summer of 2009 and since then he won the Albanian Cup and Supercup, both in 2011.
On 8 April 2014, Sina announced that he will retired at the end of 2013–14 season at the age of 35. In the last match of the season against Besa Kavajë, Sina was set to play the last match of his career, but this did not happen because Besa Kavajë didn't appear to play, forcing FSHF to award Tirana with a 3–0 victory. However, for Sina, a farewell ceremony was held to celebrate his career, which was organised by Tirana.
In his last season, Sina played 15 matches as his side assured mathematically survival on 3 May 2014, during the 2–2 away draw against Flamurtari Vlorë, where Sina was an unused substitute.
