Career

Vålerenga

After playing for both Heming, and Stabæk at youth level, he transferred to Vålerenga in 2017.

In the summer of 2018, after already appearing several times for Vålerenga's second team, Opsahl signed his first professional contract with the club. Opsahl appeared in both of Vålerenga's UEFA Conference League games in 2021, coming in as a substitution in both games.

For the latter half of the 2019 season, Opsahl was loaned out to the 1. divisjon club Skeid. He returned to Vålerenga after the season, making no appearances for the first team.

Tromsø

In February 2022 Opsahl was sold from Vålerenga to fellow Eliteserien club Tromsø.

For the first half of the 2024 season, Opsahl was on loan at Egersund, making six appearances in total, three in the league, and three in the cup.

His contract with Tromsø ended after the 2024 season, and was not renewed.

Personal life

He is the younger brother of fellow footballer and Brann player Sakarias Opsahl.
