Career

Born in Berlin, Oppie was a member of Hertha BSC's youth system from 2009 to 2017. He spent one year at Hertha Zehlendorf, also in the capital city, before joining Hannover 96. In 2022–23, he played 34 games, scored two goals and assisted four for the reserve team in the fourth-tier Regionalliga.

Oppie's youth contract with Hannover 96 was expiring in June 2023, and the club wished to offer him a professional deal, but he instead opted to join Arminia Bielefeld, newly relegated to the 3. Liga. Sporting director Michael Mutzel highlighted his versatility in defensive positions.
In 2024–25, Arminia won promotion as champions, and finished as runners-up in the DFB-Pokal. Oppie scored in a 2–0 home win over Hannover 96 on 17 August, and a 3–1 victory over Bundesliga side SC Freiburg in the last 16 on 3 December. In the final on 24 May, he took a shot in the first 25 seconds against VfB Stuttgart at his hometown's Olympiastadion, but also gave the ball away for Enzo Millot to score the decisive goal of a 4–2 defeat. Five days later, the team won the Westphalia Cup with Oppie being substituted at half time in a 2–0 win over Sportfreunde Lotte.

On 11 July 2025, Oppie signed with Bundesliga club FC St. Pauli. Neither club disclosed any contractual detail about the transfer. He made his debut on 16 August in the first round of the cup, playing the full 120 minutes of a goalless draw with fourth-tier FC Eintracht Norderstedt 03 and scoring in the 3–2 penalty shootout win; his team were the away team but playing at their own Millerntor-Stadion.
