No ! As the name implies the sporophyte generation only produces haploid spores.

On germination these spores produce the gamtophyte;

and as the name implies once again the gametophyte produces the gamete in the form of eggs and sperms.

Both are haploid , as they fuse; once again the diploid condition ( Sporophyte) is restored.

This is called alternation of generations.

The sporophyte generation gets its name from the fact that it reproduces by making spores.

Sporo = spores
phyte = plant

The generation that makes eggs and sperms is the gametophyte. Eggs and sperms are called gametes.
