We study the radiative decay $\phi\to\pi^{0}\pi^{0}\gamma$ within the framework of a phenomenological approach in which the contributions of $\sigma$-meson, $\rho$-meson and $f_0$-meson are considered. We analyze the interference effects between different contributions and utilizing the experimental branching ratio for this decay we estimate the coupling constant $g_{\phi\sigma\gamma}$.
