Brave Zoe Murphy and her family were welcomed to Oriel Park by Dundalk's players and management on Thursday.
The toddler, who was born with quadriplegia and developed cerebral palsy at 21 months old, was left in tears after attending the League of Ireland match between Drogheda United and Dundalk last Friday.
Her parents explained earlier this week: "Not the usual happy pictures of a Friday night at a Dundalk Match!. These pictures are when Zoe was crying saying she doesn’t belong here and she can’t come watch her boys play.
"Dundalk Vs Drogheda Louth Derby, Zoe was super excited to go, but it was probably Zoe’s most heart-breaking game and it wasn’t because of the results.
"Zoe was delighted to get a spot by the railing to watch her boys play, Enjoying the singing and atmosphere, and also singing along. Until a drunk teenager boy bumped into Zoe’s mum while she was holding Zoe.
"Mammy asked the boy to be careful because obviously Zoe can’t stand unaided and needed support. This boy then started shouting that Zoe had no right to be there and get her out the f***.
"Then the biggest blow was when the word R****d was thrown at us.
"Zoe just got upset and asked to leave that she wasn’t welcome."
But little Zoe was all smiles as she visited Oriel Park with her family on Thursday and she will also lead the team out for their match with UCD next Friday night.
Dundalk tweeted: "It was an honour to welcome Zoe Murphy and her family to Oriel Park this afternoon. Zoe holds a special place in all of our hearts and we can’t wait for her to lead the team out against UCD on Friday week."
Lilywhites midfielder Greg Sloggett added: "A pleasure to meet Zoe today. What she bore the blunt of on Friday last was deeply upsetting to hear, let alone be subject to.
"This is only one example, but there are many disgusting comments that are thrown about on a Friday night. Not to mention fights pre & post game."
Zoe's parents said the visit to Oriel Park made her month.
They added: "Thank you so much to everyone up at Dundalk FC for pulling out all the stops this afternoon for Zoe.
"She got to go visit them at training and given VIP treatment.
"She was over the moon at how nice everyone was, going out of their way to come see her.
"She hung out with them in their gym and was treated to some gifts."
