Ghana has been placed at the best venue for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations, Kwasi Nyantakyi says. The Black Stars have been drawn in Group D alongside debutants Botswana and fellow West African neighbours; Guinea and Mali which will be based in Franceville. The Gabonese city which has been described as quiet an isolated area is just the perfect setting to plot Ghana�s fifth African title according to Nyantakyi. �I think it�s an advantage to have your team in Franceville,� Ghana Football Association President Kwesi Nyantakyi told the BBC. �There will be the serenity of atmosphere, there will be the quietness to concentrate on your preparations. �There will be very little interference, very little disturbance�and I think we should exploit that to the fullest.� The Black Stars open their Group D account with an interesting game against debutants Botswana on January 24.
