Clackmannanshire Council's Leanne Ross, who has now been capped 100 times, has been given a years' secondment to the Scottish Football Association from her role as Active Schools Co-ordinator.
Leanne gained her 100th international cap for Scotland in a match against Chile last month.
Leanne made her debut for Scotland in 1996 against Switzerland and since then has gone on to be a pivotal member of the Scotland national team under the stewardship of current Manager Anna Signeul.
As a key member of the team she is determined to help Scotland to qualify for the Womens' World Cup Finals in 2015.
Councillor Ellen Forson, Education, Sport and Leisure Convenor, said: "As part of Scotland's World Cup 2015 campaign Leanne will commit to the national womens' football squad full time for the next 12 months. This is a fantastic opportunity for Leanne and my congratulations go to her."
The recruitment process to find a temporary replacement for Leanne is underway.
