The incident unfolded on Flinders Street, near Batman Avenue bridge, after a Melbourne Victory and Sydney FC match at AAMI Park on January 26.
Video posted to social media at the time showed Sydney fans walking along Flinders Street about 10.30pm before they were allegedly set upon by Victory fans.
Police have been told two groups became involved in a physical altercation while making their way towards Flinders Street Station after the game.
It's believed up to around 50 people became involved in the brawl, which extended to Russell Street.
Five security marshals, who were escorting one group, attempted to break up the brawl.
Two of them, a 38-year-old man and 39-year-old man from New South Wales, were treated by paramedics after being injured.
After a lengthy investigation, detectives today released the images of nine men they wanted to identify.
They're hoping the men, aged between 18 and 30, will be able to assist with their investigation.
Detectives are also calling for potential victims – who in CCTV footage look to have sustained injuries – to come forward to police.
This includes anyone involved who may be from New South Wales.
North West Metro Regional Crime Detective Inspector Geoff Owen criticised the behaviour.
"This kind of behaviour is just not okay," Owen said.
"We all know a split-second decision to be violent can result in life-altering consequences.
"That's why we are taking this so seriously. To send a clear message to those who think they can conduct themselves in this way and get away with it."
Investigators are also keen to speak with anyone who may have witnessed the incident.
No arrests have been made.
