Potentially hundreds of drones are resting on the bottom of the Yarra River after a mysterious technical malfunction on Friday night sent them plummeting into the water in Melbourne's CBD.

The drones were to be part of a pre-game light show before the Matildas game against France at Docklands Stadium.

Hundreds of drones are missing after a technical malfunction saw them fall into the Yarra River

What's next? Divers are attempting to retrieve the drones from the bottom of the river at Docklands.

…Mr Lorusso said the descending drones did not cause any injury nor result in any damage to property.

"The drones did exactly what they should've done with any technical glitch and they auto-rotated and landed. Unfortunately, when you're over water they auto-rotate and land into the water," he said.

"We were there to do a brilliant show for the Matildas so we were very disappointed and bummed out in that aspect but I'm very grateful that everyone is safe.”
