Northern Ireland stars Keith Gillespie and George McCartney were involved in a fight on an airplane before it flew the team from Iceland to London.
The altercation came after a verbal exchange and punches were thrown before other players were forced to intervene.
Cabin crew staff reported the incident to N Ireland manager Nigel Worthington before the flight took off.
The IFA said it will take appropiate action following the incident which came hours after a Euro 2008 qualifier.
