Rather than being held in one or two countries, the event in six years' time will be staged in 13 cities across a number of European nations.
Horne confirmed that the FA, who have already declared an interest in hosting the final at Wembley, are keen to stage the competition's curtain-raiser at the national stadium.
"On the basis that someone needs to stand up, we have done it," Horne told The Times.
"It's a big game, the opening game. It would be great for London, for Wembley.
"I pushed it to UEFA, quietly at the moment, but we are going to make a play for it with our bid."
UEFA's Executive Committee will then decide on locations in September.
