Megawati Hangestri Pertiwi (born in Jember on 20 September 1999), simply known as Megawati, is an Indonesian indoor volleyball player. She is a member of the Indonesia women's national volleyball team.

Contents

Megawati participated in the 2017 SEA Games. In the semifinal, she contributed the highest points when competing with Vietnam in five sets and made Indonesia qualify for the final after the last time in 1991. [1] [2] In the final, Indonesia lost to Thailand and won a silver medal. [3] In 2023, Megawati was contracted with the Red Sparks. [4]

Careers

Megawati has been a volleyball player since the age of 14. Her professional career began as one of the young players in the Surabaya Bank Jatim squad during the Livoli Divisi Utama in 2015. In the Proliga, she played for Jakarta Pertamina Fastron from the 2015 season until the 2017 season, [1] and continued in the 2022 season. [5] She briefly moved to Jakarta BNI 46 [6] in the 2018 season and then to Bandung BJB Tandamata as Indonesia's representative in the ASEAN Grand Prix 2022. [7]

In 2021, Megawati started exploring a career abroad by joining the Thai club Supreme Chonburi-E.Tech in the Thailand League for one season. [8] She then played for the Vietnamese club Hà Phú Thanh Hóa in the Vietnam Volleyball League 2022 after the Proliga 2022 concluded. [8]

In mid-2023, Megawati was selected in the Asian player draft and signed a one-year contract with the South Korean volleyball club, Red Sparks, for the 2023-24 season. [8] A South Korean media OSEN praised Megawati's performance as a new player for Red Sparks. The Red Sparks club, which struggled last season, has started to rise again thanks to Megawati and her teammate Giovanna. [8] She helped her team reach the playoffs for the first time in seven years and finished in third place at the end of the season. [9] Megawati returned to Indonesia to play for Jakarta BIN in the Proliga 2024, successfully leading her team to their first championship title and achieving her first title in her career. [10] After the Proliga 2024 ended, she returned to Red Sparks after Ko Hee-jin selected her in the Asian Draft Quarter organized by KOVO. [11] In the PON 2024 competition held in Aceh-North Sumatra, she successfully brought home a gold medal for the East Java Women's Volleyball Team. [12]

After her successful stint with Red Sparks in the 2024–2025 South Korean V-League season, where she led the team to a runner-up finish and earned widespread acclaim for her powerful spikes and scoring prowess, Megawati briefly returned to Indonesia in 2025 to compete for Gresik Petrokimia Pupuk Indonesia in the Proliga final four. Despite a loss in her debut match with the team, her impact as a versatile and dynamic player remained evident.

In August 2025, Megawati embarked on a new chapter in her international career by signing with Manisa Büyükşehir Belediyespor Kulübü in Turkey’s Kadinlar 1, the country’s second-tier women’s volleyball league, for the 2025–2026 season. Passing the required health tests, as confirmed by her club on August 19, 2025, she joined a competitive squad aiming for promotion to the top-tier Sultanlar Ligi. Her arrival in Turkey was met with significant excitement from local media and fans, who view her as a key asset due to her proven track record in high-pressure competitions.
