Around ten or 12 who handed over their plans at Wembley today will be chosen to play a part in England's bid.
Four cities on the list, London, Manchester, Liverpool and Sheffield, include more than one stadium.
Wembley, Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur's proposed new stadium and the 2012 Olympic stadium are the four grounds involved in London's bid.
Manchester United and Manchester City's Old Trafford and Eastlands grounds are in the Manchester bid, while redeveloped versions of Bramall Lane and Hillsborough make up the Sheffield proposal.
But Liverpool's submission was based on proposed new grounds for Liverpool and Everton, both of which are in severe jeopardy.
The other cities are: Birmingham (Villa Park); Leeds (Elland Road); Hull (KC Stadium); Milton Keynes (Stadium: MK); Leicester (Walkers Stadium); Newcastle (St James' Park) and Sunderland (Stadium of Light).
The submissions of Nottingham and Bristol are based on stadiums not yet built, while Plymouth's bid centres on the redevelopment of Plymouth Argyle's Home Park ground.
'Successful cities will show they have the infrastructure necessary to meet or exceed Fifa's requirements,' a Football Association statement said. 'This includes stadiums, training venues, base camps and fan parks.
'They will have excellent accommodation and transport services, and robust plans for safety, security and sustainability.
'Successful cities will have strong public backing for their bid, plus the support of local and regional media.'
The successful cities will be announced on December 16th.
