We find the contribution of constituent quark loop mechanism to the branching ratio B_{4\gamma} = \Gamma_{4\gamma}/\Gamma_{4\gamma} \sim 5.45 \cdot 10^{-16} for the reasonable choice of constituent quark mass m \sim 280 MeV. This result is in agreement with vector-dominance approach result obtained years ago. Thus the main contribution arises from QED mechanism \pi^0 \to \gamma (\gamma^*) \to \gamma (3\gamma) including light-light scattering block with electron loop. This contribution was investigated in paper of one of us and gave B_{4\gamma} \sim 2.6 \cdot 10^{-11}.
