JAKARTA The Indonesian Volleyball Association (PBVSI) does not know for sure the reason why the Jakarta BIN women's volleyball team and the Jakarta men's team STIN BIN decided to miss the 2025 Proliga event.

The General Chairperson of PBVSI, Imam Sudjarwo, said that the two teams belonging to the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) may not be able to participate because there is a change of leadership.

"Maybe now it's not coming, but in the future it might come again. We know that the Head of BIN has been replaced. However, it is an excuse or not, I don't know," he said in Jakarta on Tuesday, December 17, 2024.

Jakarta BIN is the defending champion team from Indonesia's highest level volleyball competition. Their position will be replaced by the newcomer team, Yogya Falcons.

In the 2024 season, the team was strengthened by the Indonesian volleyball star, Megawati Hanggetri Pertiwi. Megawati helped them lift the title and then re-strengthen Redmen.

On the other hand, Jakarta STIN BIN is one of three men's teams that will miss next year after becoming a contestant in the 2024 edition. The other two teams that are also absent are Kudus Sukun Badak and Pertamina Pertamax.

"We certainly hope that by 2026 they can come again so that they enliven this Proliga, which is expected to be attended by the entire country every year," said Imam.

Proliga 2025 will start on January 3, 2025 to May 11, 2025. During that period there was a five-week gap due to the holy month of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr.

The 2025 Proliga participants consisted of seven women's teams and five men's teams. This number is shrinking when compared to the 2024 season which was completed in July 2024.

Proliga 2025 presents a total of 90 matches, consisting of 62 matches in Rounds I and II, 24 matches in Final Four, and four matches in the Grand Final round.
