The Indomitable Lions have recorded victories over Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Comoros and The Gambia, while their draw came against Cape Verde.
“I am satisfied with my players who respected the instructions to go and win the match despite the missed opportunities in the first period," Cameroon coach Antonio Conceiçao said after the win over The Gambia.
"In addition to the victory, it was our match where the attack-defence balance was the most respected. I am very happy with our production against a great team from the Gambia. In truth, they did not change her strategy, they beat her success in this way and tonight we insisted on our game.
"Regarding the semi-finals, what worries me the most is to see my players to recover, it was a physically demanding match. We will rest and analyze our next opponent and put the strategy in place. I'm really happy with my players."
Meanwhile, Egypt ran out 2-1 winners over Morocco in the quarter-final match which took place on January 30.
The Pharaohs are now undefeated in their last four matches in this competition having recorded four consecutive victories.
The North African giants started their 2021 AFCON campaign with a defeat to Nigeria and they have since secured wins over Guinea-Bissau, Sudan, Ivory Coast and Morocco.
The last meeting between Cameroon and Egypt was on 5 February 2017.
The Indomitable Lions claimed a 2-1 win over the Pharaohs in the 2017 AFCON final which was played at the Stade d'Angondjé in Gabon.
