Risa Sato returns to the Premier Volleyball League -- this time, for the Akari Chargers.
The team made the announcement on Thursday, July 2, with the 31-year-old middle blockers expected to add depth and experience to the squad.
“Welcome to Akari, Risa Sato!” the team posted on social media.
“Ready to bring in her championship experience and energy, Risa will be a huge boost for the Chargers. Let’s go!” it added.
Sato previously played for BaliPure from 2016 to 2017 before joining multi-titled championship squad Creamline Cool Smashers from 2018 to 2024.
She suited up for Chery Tiggo in 2025 prior to its disbandment before stepping away to give birth to her first child.
With Sato on the fold, she is expected to join forces with fellow middle blockers Fifi Sharma and Ced Domingo.
