The second edition of the Wantok Cup was scheduled to be held during Independence Day celebrations in Vanuatu, in late July 2008.

(Vanuatu's Independence Day is July 30, but the specific dates of the competition have not yet been announced.)] Papua New Guinea having withdrawn from the first edition of the Cup earlier in July, due to financial reasons, the country's participation in the second edition remained uncertain. The Solomon Islands was to be represented by two teams. [ [http://www.solomontimes.com/news.aspx?nwID=2109 "SIFF Approves Two Teams in Wantok Cup"] , "Solomon Times", July 17, 2008]

On July 18, it was announced that Vanuatu would be unable to host the Cup that month, due to financial difficulties. The second edition of the Wantok Cup was consequently cancelled. The Vanuatu Football Federation stated that the country would host the Cup in July 2009.
