A-League pitch invaders given 20-year ban

Eight people who invaded the pitch during Melbourne's A-League derby have been banned from attending future soccer matches.

Football Australia confirmed the eight spectators, ranging in age from 18 to 28, will each receive a ban of either five, 15 or 20 years. 

The group were among the 150 people who stormed the AAMI Park clash between Melbourne Victory and Melbourne City on Saturday.

City's goalkeeper Tom Glover, referee Alex King, a TV cameraman and two security guards were injured as a result. 

Football Australia chief executive James Johnson said the organisation had a zero-tolerance policy towards disruptive, destructive and violent behaviour.

"Football is the beautiful game," Mr Johnson said in a statement on Thursday. 

"It brings together people like no other sport can, and we will not let the actions of these non-football fans cast a dark cloud over the game we love."

Two men have already received life bans for their roles in Saturday night's pitch invasion. 

Police have also charged 13 people, including the four men allegedly responsible for injuring the goalkeeper and other victims.  

The men were released on bail to appear at Melbourne Magistrates Court in February, facing charges including violent disorder and unlawful assault.

The other nine people, aged between 17 and 28, are also facing a range of offences, including criminal damage and disrupting a match. 

Victoria Police advised on Thursday they had wrongly identified one of those charged, a 28-year-old Albion woman, as a man. She is accused of entry to a competition space, disrupting a match, public nuisance and riotous behaviour.

A 21-year-old Northcote man charged with offences including violent disorder, criminal damage, disrupting a match and discharging a flare was also wrongly listed as 26 years of age.

Police are continuing to search for people who invaded the pitch on Saturday night. 

A total of 36 people have so far been identified, including one man on Thursday morning.

Along with the five injured people, about $150,000 worth of damage was caused to AAMI Park during the pitch invasion, police say.

About 80 flares or fireworks were set off, and poles and bottles were thrown at police on the field as they responded to the chaos.

Premier Daniel Andrews on Monday warned the "cowardly" pitch invaders yet to hand themselves in would feel the full force of the law and soccer authorities.
