Police were called after the fight involving players from Russian First League team Shinnik Yaroslavl and Ukrainian Premier League outfit FC Minaj.

The video of the hand-to-hand fight between the football players has been released to the Ukrainian Telegram channel Bombardier. The footage showed the start of the battle at the Royal Seginus hotel near Antalya where both teams were on training camps.
