Applications by Leicester City, Derby County and Hull City were all rejected by the 2018 England World Cup bid team to be a host City.
London will have four venues including Wembley Stadium and Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, Manchester two in Old Trafford and Eastlands.
Also making the cut were Sunderland's Stadium Of Light, Villa Park in Birmingham, The City Ground in Nottingham, Elland Road, Hillsborough, St James Park in Newcastle, Milton Keynes, Bristol City's new stadium and Home Park, Plymouth for which there are plans to develop it into a 46,000 seater stadium.
The Ricoh Arena had decided against submitting a bid on the basis that the the cost of transforming the home of Coventry City into a stadium with the minimum 40,000 capacity, did not justify the outlay, back in July.
Speaking about the stadia, selection commitee boss Lord Mawhinney said to the BBC: "I have no doubt that this process has strengthened our bid considerably," remarked Mahwinney.
"There is a temptation to think of bids in terms of just stadia but we have spent a long time talking about travelling, accommodation and security and the decision we have made constitutes a composite of all the criteria that goes towards what makes a good host city.
"The choices we made represented our best judgement of the strongest possible combination to give England's bid the strongest attraction compared to other countries' bids for 2010.
"We always made it clear we aspired to having a wider geographical spread.
"We have some world famous stadia and the world would not understand if we didn't put them in the bid, (but) we felt we should have a sprinkling of tomorrow as well.
"We, as a bid team, are looking forward. We wanted to say to Fifa: 'We are looking at legacy and legacy is about tomorrow'. We heard enough about the new stadiums to put them on the list and we hope that will give local people the confidence to deliver them."
The decision on who hosts the World Cups in 2018 and 2022 will be announced next December.
