It is among four sports that organisers will propose to the International Olympic Committee (IOC), as well as surfing, climbing and skateboarding, which will all debut at Tokyo 2020.
Squash campaigned unsuccessfully for inclusion in the Paris Games, as did billiard sports and chess.
Breakdancing was included in the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires in 2018.
The IOC will consider the proposal and must reach a decision by December 2020.
