American football has taken a step on the road to becoming an Olympic sport.
The International Federation of American Football (IFAF) received provisional recognition by the International Olympic Committee on Tuesday.
The recognition comes seven months after the IOC denied the IFAF's initial request for recognition.
NFL Vice President of International Operations Chris Parsons told Fox Sports' Alex Marvez in May that he believed IOC recognition would "generate incremental interest" in football worldwide.
