Madonna tells Spanish football club their missing shirt is ‘in my archives’

Singer Madonna has told Spanish football club Celta Vigo their missing shirt, which she wore during a 1990 performance at the team’s stadium, is “hanging in my archives” after they asked for help to find it.

The La Liga club’s president, Marian Mourino Terrazo, wrote an open letter asking for help to trace the shirt earlier this week, in which she described the shirt as a “symbol of part of the emotional heritage of our club and what it stands for”.

Madonna, 67, whose full name is Madonna Ciccone, said in a post on X: “This shirt is hanging in my archives. I am wearing and representing your team in spirit.”

In the letter from the president of the Galician club, which currently sits in sixth place in Spain’s highest division of men’s football, she asked the singer “for your help with something that means a great deal to us”.

Terrazo said, on July 29th, 1990, Madonna performed live at the club’s stadium, Balaidos, where she wore the team’s sky blue shirt.

She added: “This beloved memory still lives among our supporters.

“The photograph of you wearing our shirt has become a myth and is now part of our history which is written often beyond the limits of the football pitch.”

She said this “iconic image has grown to shine differently as years have passed” and added “that is why we hold on to the hope of finding the garment you once wore”.

A musical message for you, @Madonna

The authenticity and passion of your music, with the heart and tradition of ours.
