A charity soccer tournament organised by the Queensland Police Service has ended with an all-in brawl in Brisbane.

The multicultural tournament at Greenslopes is Queensland’s own version of the World Cup with over 90 teams representing their countries.

Late yesterday Scotland was playing South Sudan in the grand final and the two teams clashed at the end of the game.

Officials say words were exchanged as the teams were leaving the field and a fight broke out involving players and spectators.

Two players from one team were taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital for treatment but their injuries were not serious.

Police are investigating the incident and no charges have been laid.

The tournament is the largest multicultural football event in Australia.
