Hey guys I came across this trigger that says it will do just exactly what I needed it to do but with a few changes to do I've modified it so that a new custom object is created when the Opoortunity is won.

I'm running this in Sandbox and can't seem to figure out why the trigger isn't activating.

Basically:
I have a custom object Sponsorship and I want a new sponsor to be created when an Opportunity is won and the appropriate fields to be inserted as well.
trigger createSponsorOnOpportunityWon on Opportunity (after insert) {
    
    List <Sponsorship__c> sponsToInsert = new List <Sponsorship__c> ();
    // or whatever your custom object name put instead of Sponsorship__c
    
    for (Opportunity o : Trigger.new) {
        
        
        // here is where you check if opportunity that is being inserted
        //meets the criteria
        if (o.StageName == 'Closed Won'){
        
        Sponsorship__c s = new Sponsorship__c (); //instantiate the object to put values for future record
        
        // now map opportunity fields to new vehicle object that is being created with this opportunity
        
        s.Name = o.Name; // and so on so forth untill you map all the fields. 
        s.Sponsor_Account__c = o.AccountId;
        //once done, you need to add this new object to the list that would be later inserted. 
        //don't worry about the details for now
        
        sponsToInsert.add(s);
        
        
        }//end if
        
    }//end for o
    
    //once loop is done, you need to insert new records in SF
    // dml operations might cause an error, so you need to catch it with try/catch block.
    try {
        insert sponsToInsert; 
    } catch (system.Dmlexception e) {
        system.debug (e);
    }
    
}

Right now it should just create the new object with the name and and account taken from the opportunity. But nothing happens. Any ideas?
