Hungarian soccer chief blocks Madonna ‘Sticky and Sweet’ Show

Madonna concert organizers are scrambling in Budapest after a bid to move her concert from a horse-racing track to Hungary’s biggest sports stadium was rejected by the Hungarian soccer authorities.

The sport’s local governing body won’t allow Madonna to use the Ferenc Puskas stadium on Aug. 22, to protect the field for a potential Champions’ League game four days later and two World Cup qualifying matches in September.

Madonna’s concert, part of her “Sticky and Sweet” tour, was scheduled to be held at the Kincsem Park race track near the tail end of her European tour that started in London’s O2 Arena on July 4. MLSZ, the soccer federation, has rejected an offer by local organizers to replace the stadium turf for the games.
