We briefly summarize experimental and theoretical results on the rare decay π{sup 0} → e{sup +}e{sup −}. Two-loop QED corrections are reviewed and the bremsstrahlung contribution beyond the soft-photon approximation is analytically calculated. Using the leading logarithm approximation, the possible contribution of QCD corrections is estimated. The complete result can be used to fit the value of the contact interaction coupling χ{sup (r)} to the recent KTeV experiment with the result χ{sup (r)}(M{sub ρ}) = 4.5±1.0.
