Police have released images of nine men they believe can assist their probe into a wild A-League brawl which erupted after the Melbourne Victory and Sydney FC clash on Australia Day.

Police have released images of nine men as their investigations into a wild CBD brawl involving up to 50 people after an A-League game continue.

Investigators from North-West Metro regional crime squad say the men in the images will be able to help with their inquiries into the Australia Day violence which followed a Melbourne Victory-Sydney FC match.

It unfolded as two groups from the opposing teams clashed on Flinders St, near the Batman Ave Bridge, at 10.30pm.

One of the men police are keen to speak to.

The clash followed the Victory match in January.

The groups had been making their way to Flinders St railway station at the time.

Police say five security marshals who were escorting one of the groups tried to break up the fracas, which extended towards Russell St.

Opposing supporter groups clashed outside the stadium.

It’s understood up to 50 people were involved.

Two of the marshalls, a 38-year-old man and 39-year-old man, who were both from New South Wales were treated for facial injuries at the scene.

Police believe about 50 people were involved in the fighting.

No arrests have been made.

Some of the faces shouldn’t be too hard to identify.

Police have been working with the stadium since.

Investigators have been working with the stadium operators and the clubs as part of their probe.

They have asked any victims, who in CCTV appear to have injuries, to come forward.

“This includes anyone involved who may be from New South Wales,” a Victoria Police statement said.

Nine men in total are on the force’s radar.
