Also on January 25, the United States Soccer Federation announced that for that evening's friendly match between the U.S. Men's National Team and Serbia at Los Angeles' BMO Stadium, a press box seat would be left open in Wahl's memory, decorated with his framed photo, flowers, and a USMNT jersey bearing his last name. The federation will honor Wahl in this manner at every home match involving the U.S. men's or women's teams through the 2026 FIFA World Cup, an event the U.S. will co-host with Canada and Mexico. Major League Soccer also reserved an empty press box seat for Wahl at each match of the league's 2023 season opening weekend.
