Louis Oppie (born 17 May 2002)[1] is a German footballer who plays as a left back for Arminia Bielefeld.
Career
[edit]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.[2] In 2022–23, he played 34 games, scored two goals and assisted four for the reserve team in the fourth-tier Regionalliga.[3]
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.[3]
In 2024–25, Arminia won promotion as champions,[4] and finished as runners-up in the DFB-Pokal. Oppie scored in a 2–0 home win over Hannover 96 on 17 August,[5] and a 3–1 victory over Bundesliga side SC Freiburg in the last 16 on 3 December.[6] 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.[7]
