We report the first observation of a$$0\atop{0}$$(980)-f₀(980) mixing in the decays of J/$$\psi$$ → Φf₀(980) → Φa$$0\atop{0}$$(980) → Φηπ⁰ and χ_c1 → a$$0\atop{0}$$(980)π⁰ → f₀(980)π⁰ → π⁺ π^- π⁰, using data samples of 1.31 × 10⁹ J/$$\psi$$ events and 4.48 × 10⁸ $$\psi$$(3686) events accumulated with the BESIII detector. The signals of f₀(980) → a$$0\atop{0}$$(980) and a$$0\atop{0}$$(980) → f₀(980) mixing are observed with a statistical significance of 7.4σ and 5.5σ, respectively. The corresponding branching fractions and mixing intensities are measured, and the constraint regions on the coupling constants, g_a0K+K- and g_f0K+K-, are estimated. The results improve the understanding of the nature of a$$0\atop{0}$$(980) and f₀(980).
