Since joining the club in mid-2023, Megawati has been one of Red Sparks’ most valuable players. Her consistent and passionate performance on the court earned her the title of the club’s “golden girl.” She played a key role in helping Red Sparks reach the finals of the Korean Volleyball League 2024/2025. Unfortunately, the team had to settle for second place after a narrow 2-3 defeat against Pink Spiders in the decisive final match at Samsan World Gymnasium on Tuesday (April 8, 2025).
Behind the scenes of her glittering career, Megawati made an emotional decision: to return to Indonesia to care for her ailing mother.
“Mega was very happy with the two years she spent at Red Sparks and was very keen to renew her contract,” said Megawati’s agent, quoted by Yonhap. “[But] her mother’s declining health and her desire to care for her became the main reasons why she gave up staying in the V-League,” the agent added.
The statement makes it clear that her decision was not influenced by professional factors, but rather by her deep sense of family duty. Still, many fans are curious about what lies ahead for the powerhouse athlete.
So far, there has been no official announcement regarding Megawati’s next move. However, rumors are swirling. She is believed to be considering playing in the Indonesian Volleyball League or exploring options in nearby Southeast Asian leagues such as Thailand or Vietnam, which are closer to her home country.
For Indonesian volleyball fans, the return of Megawati to the Southeast Asian scene could be exciting news. Known for her fierce presence on the court and leadership qualities, Megatron has always been a game-changer.
Through this decision, Megawati proves once again that behind her powerful spikes and on-court dominance, she is still a devoted daughter. Choosing to return home for her mother shows that family love outweighs international fame.
Now, volleyball lovers in Indonesia wait eagerly: will Megatron bring her electric energy to the local scene and uplift the national game once again?
